Varietal

Chardonnay

Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.

Appellation

Cote De Beaune

The beautifully and unforgettable French region of Cote De Beaune has been revered throughout the centuries, and recognized as one of the key producer's of the world's finest white wines. The region is highly respected as an excellent producer of Chardonnay wines, and the Chardonnay grapes which grow there, on the southern slopes of the Cote d'Or, are packed full of the unique and powerful characteristics of this very special terroir. Interestingly, Cote De Beaune produces more red wine than white wine, despite its white wines being so famous. The red wines of Cote De Beaune are mainly made from Pinot Noir, but are relatively very light and fruity in their character, perfect for sipping on a warm, sunny day alongside a wide range of foods.

Vinous Media

Pale yellow with a green tinge. Some deeper-pitched soil notes complement fresh peach, lemon, lime and noble herbs on the nose. The first obviously saline of these 2016s to this point, offering excellent depth of flavor and lovely finesse and thrust. This chewy yet refined wine will rely as much on its supporting minerality as on its acidity for longevity. In fact, the pH here of 3.54 is the highest among these '16s along with the Clos de la Garenne. (13.2% alcohol; 3.85 g/I acidity)

Wine Spectator

Apricot, melon, apple and buttered pastry flavors mark this juicy, ripe white. Citrus and spice accents emerge on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2025. 300 cases imported.

There is a touch of olive oil on the ripe and mildly exotic nose that features notes of melon, pear, apple compote and plenty of floral wisps. I like the mouth feel of the solidly concentrated and tautly muscular flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the lengthy finish. I would note that there is a hint of acid tang though I suspect it will dissipate with a few years of bottle age and my rating assumes that will occur.

Winery Notes

Beautiful harmony defines this precious wine. Golden and bright colour. The complex and distinctive aromas of Puligny are here in evidence: honey, honeysuckle, fresh almond. As the wine matures, these aromas evolve towards dried fruit notes and spice. On the palate, a very nice balance between freshness and velvety texture. There is even a firm backbone that gives this wine a strong structure. Exceptionally long on the aftertaste, with refined and floral notes throughout.
