Although classed as a simple Bourgogne Blanc this is easily Villages quality and would test many premiere cru whites from Burgundy. Lack of fruit weight was all that separated this wine from that esteemed status of premiere cru.
It is fresh and vibrant with great acid and a noticeable mineral character, almost Chablis like. This is not dull, flat and flabby like a lot of lesser chardonnays but has plenty of life and leaves a wonderful zing in your mouth. A very different style to the fruit driven, oak drenched chardonnay often made in Australia.
