Tasting notes
The 2013 Beaune 1er Cru Clos Saint-Landry Blanc offers up an exotic bouquet featuring aromas of musky peach, candied pineapple, honeycomb and orchard fruit that appears to be marked by a touch of botrytis. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with a fleshy core of fruit but tangy underlying acids and a precise but aromatic finish.

Bright, pale yellow. Lemon, powdered stone and caraway seed on the nose, plus a hint of white pepper. A step up in energy and intensity from the Beaune du Château but still in a wiry, lemony, very dry style. I prefer the village Puligny for its fruit intensity.
A little salty on the nose and even more so on the palate. Very crisp, a hint of oak toast, just enough fruit weight for the acidity. Extremely pure if not intense. (JH)
(20% hail damage): Pale yellow. Shy, pure aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers and white pepper. Suave, nicely balanced and concentrated, showing lovely inner-mouth perfume to the citrus and floral flavors complemented by oak. This harmonious, persistent wine offers good density and bright acid lift.
