Beaune Blanc
| From the gently sloping hillside overlooking the ancient walled town of Beaune comes this classic white Burgundy. White Beaune accounts for only 5% of the total production from this appellation. The soil in this region is made up of chalk and limestone which suits Chardonnay well. The unique terroir and traditional oak cask ageing produce a wine with an elegant bouquet, which is rich and thick in body. | |

| Tasting note |
Light yellow in colour. The nose is defined by pronounced nougat aromas: a mix of honey, almond and hazelnut. In the mouth however, almond and menthol prevail. The finish is clean with good minerality and balance.

Tom Cannavan, www.wine-pages.com, Aug 2012Home to Chardonnay whites as well as the more frequently seen Pinot Noir reds, Beaune is both a village appellation and the large town that is the epicentre of the Burgundy wine industry. Clear and fresh on the nose, the little nuances of oatmeal and acacia honey just add some richness to straightforward citrus and apple fruit. On the palate the subtle oak supports with some very discreet toast and vanilla, but again it is that racy core of cool white fruit that drives this. A fairly big wine in terms of structure and alcohol (13.5% ABV) but really rather elegant too. 89/100. |
