Tasting notes
The 1997 Bourgogne Blanc (2000 bottles were produced) reveals smoky, toasty, and minerally aromas, intermingled with candied lemons and fresh white fruits. This is a thick, medium to full-bodied, broad, and sensual wine, crammed with poached pear, hazelnut, stone, lemon grass, and tropical fruit (some banana) flavors. It is a forward, in-your-face, and luxurious wine that will require drinking over the next 5-6 years. Bravo! Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel (212) 818-0770.
