Ageing Potential: 8 - 10 Years Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin:"A seductive wine and a really nice expression of the Chardonnay grape! The colour is golden, with some green reflections. Among the floral and fruity aromas, almond and ripe grapes dominate. On the palate, the wine is refreshingly pleasant, ethereal in its lightness. Long and refreshing aftertaste".Vintage: The whites show great character on a fresh and neat structure. They are both precise and full of nuances. Their style is relatively homogeneous through Great Burgundy. Food Matches: Seafood / Fish / Chicken / Oysters
