Tasting notes
The 2021 Bourgogne Blanc comes from three vineyards in Puligny, Chassagne and Saint-Aubin. This is quite elegant on the nose, understated even with Granny Smiths and a hint of white peach. The palate is well balanced with a lovely texture, impressive weight for a regional white and with welcome "bite" on the finish. Enjoy over several years.

The 2021 Bourgogne Chardonnay is a notable success, exhibiting aromas of pear, toasted nuts and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and incisive palate. It's now derived from only three parcels—in Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet—since Colin lost his source in Meursault.
One-third each from vines in Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and St-Aubin. 65 ares in total. Limestone soils, with St-Aubin especially high in limestone and chalk. No new oak in this cuvée. Tank sample. Bright, mid-pale lemon. Zesty citrus and apple. Not especially complex; frank with fine, clean and fresh acidity. Citrus and chalk on the palate. It’s fine enough. (MH)
