"An elegant and airy nose of ripe citrus, white flowers and apple aromas leads to vibrant, mineral-inflected and well-delineated medium weight flavors that coat the mouth with dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm acid spine on the balanced and lingering finish. This is not as refined as the Champlots but it's a bit more complex. A qualitative choice though the respective characters of the two wines are markedly different."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
