2019 Côte de Nuits

This vineyard is in the hills above Vosne, and enjoys a cooler microclimate thanks to its 437m elevation. There is a tiny bit of Pinot Blanc grown amongst Chardonnay here, and this wine has a lovely apricot perfume, and fresh citrus zip on the palate. Beautifully textured.

A recent addition to the Cathiard portfolio from Burgundy's 'other' white grape. Fresh, bright, and invitingly balanced.

This cuvée uses the fruit from the younger vines in the Clos de l’Arlot premier cru, found at the southern side of the vineyard. It is brightly perfumed with honeysuckle and lemon meringue pie. The palate has a smooth, lemon curd texture, and some nice Conference pear character on the length.

One of a rare breed, a Nuits St Georges 1er Cru blanc. Only 900 bottles are made every year. Full and fleshy, with a bright, mineral drive.

This uncelebrated ‘other’ white grape from Burgundy is enjoying a moment: the wines are fresh, vibrant, wonderful for early drinking and offer unparalleled value. The Felettig example is everything we’re looking for: salty, fresh, and moreish.

A classic example from this cooler region in the hills above the Côte de Beaune. It is peachy and smooth, with lovely tension and a silky texture.

This is one of few prestigious whites of the Côte de Nuits, and comes from one of the estate’s two monopole vineyards. Clos de l’Arlot is the steep, walled, amphitheatre vineyard just next to the cellars. There is fabulous structure here, with intense orchard fruit, and a weighty palate with plenty of dry extract and vibrant freshness. Serious stuff, and not to be underestimated.
