A pleasant and affordable Bourgogne from a reliable Maison. The nose opens with white flowers, then orchard fruit (bosc pear and yellow apple), lemony-lime citrus and a mineral note. The palate offers much the same along with a hint of honey on toast not too dissimilar to aged Aussie Semillon. Creaminess suggests lees contact and there's medium plus acidity providing lift and refreshment. The length is very good to excellent. Pair with lemon chicken. Jan. 2025.
