Reviews

92 Wine Enthusiast -
Cream, lemon, Mirabelle and hazelnut on the nose of this wine promise freshness and purity. The palate gives full rein to the Mirabelle notes, framing them with nutty, oaky smokiness and pervading them with ripe lemon freshness. Concentrated and creamy, the wine strikes a lovely balance.

“This was all supposed to go to an uber-luxe restaurant, but they just cancelled...want to taste it?" That was the intro from the Burgundy broker and man are we happy we did. DELICIOUS! Insanely well-priced...we were sure there was a mistake! From the idyllic valley next to Beaune, between Beaune, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses, comes this rich and amazingly drinkable barrel-aged white Burgundy.

The "Talmettes" vineyard (made famous by Simone Bize) is on a gentle slope with an ideal south-west exposure, next to the famous Vergelesses and Lavières vineyards. The soil is marl and limestone from the Bathonian age; light soil with a reddish coloration, strewn with sharp stones.

Quince, roasted hazelnuts, buttercream, lemon curd, and mouth-watering freshness backed up by a touch of warm toasted French oak. This will appeal to a huge array of Chardonnay drinkers -- it hits all the sweet spots, especially considering the price! While it lasts...!

PAIRING IDEAS: For us? Something along the lines of chicken in cream sauce, especially if you have some killer fresh mushrooms handy -- morels, porcini, etc.

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Our plan is to put up our feet, pop open this gorgeous white Burgundy, and relax to some Neil Young's “Heart of Gold".
