Brimming with candied lemon and fresh pomelo aromas. Very attractive interplay of discrete fruit, flinty character and fine tannins on the quite sleek, medium-bodied palate. Remarkable mineral character in the finish for the humble appellation. A cuvee that is half from domaine vineyards in the Cote Chalonnais and half from the Cote d'Or. Matured primarily in oak casks, plus a smaller part in stainless steel.

A crisp and elegant wine for this appellation, with crisp pear fruit and a very satisfying balance of discreet creaminess and herbal freshness on the medium-bodied palate. Polished finish that's lively. This is a complex cuvee of grapes from Puligny-Montrachet and other parts of the Cote d'`Or with some wine from the Maconnais.
