Côte de Beaune 2018

60% Meursault, 40% Puligny, with three plots in Meursault and one in Puligny. This is a beautiful Bourgogne in 2018. There’s notes of lime blossom, with lifted fruit and plenty of energy. Delicious.

Vines were planted in in Blagny, one of Meursault's highest vineyards, in 1984 and this shows in the focus, energy, and vertical character of this wine. Delicate flowers and lovely citrus precision. Very good indeed.

From high up the hillside, you really feel the altitude here in 2018. There’s lovely energy, and a floral character to the wine. Very pretty Meursault.

Next to Truffières, Les Champs Gains is a brilliant vineyard in Puligny. Open, smoky and very mineral, with acacia blossom and pink grapefruit, this is classic Puligny. There’s just a hint of bitterness on the finish, that leaves you wanting more.

Notes of pink grapefruit and rose petal swirl from the glass, with such alluring, attractive fragrance. There’s a quince note, too, and wild flowers. This is so complex, pure, and long. A delight.
