I picked up this 375ml from the wine list at #Nepenthe last Monday. I have a bit of thing for White Burgundy & this producer in general. Another 22 in my ongoing quest to try as many of them as I can.
It has nice viscosity, but not quite that of most Chassagne-Montrachet’s I’ve had. Ripe, lemons, lime, green apple, white peach, tropicals-honey dew, cream, pineapple flesh, light saline, sea fossils, white spice-ginger, soft herbal notes, crumbled, dry chalk, limestone, very understated vanillin & caramel notes, yellow flowers, jasmine, spring flowers, nice round acidity, very well balanced, beautifully knitted, elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds and lands on soft minerality & spice.
This Domaine was founded by Hubert in 1949 w/ 2.5 Hectares and has grown to 35 Hectares. If you know anything about Burgundy, 35 is a lot.
