Light nose. Correct but just a little skinny. Nothing to object to; nothing to rave about. (JR)

The 2013 Bourgogne les Chataigners was already in bottle. It has a simple and rather herbaceous bouquet that needs to show a little more fruit intensity. The palate is crisp on the entry with crisp citrus fruit, bruised apple and fresh pear, leading to a short primal finish.
A super fresh nose features notes of petrol, green apple and soft citrus nuances. The punchy and well-delineated flavors possess a hint of minerality on the satisfying and inviting finish that exhibits the same citrusy nuances as the nose. Lovely at this level.
