This white Burgundy offers aromas of crisp pear, green apple, hazelnuts, lime zest, white flowers, nutmeg, and freshly baked bread. The nose also reveals intense notes of salted butter, sweet spices, and fine toast, with subtle vanilla harmoniously blending with ripe yellow fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, satiny, and concentrated, yet incisive, with a vibrant spine of acidity and chalky extract. Expect a creamy texture with fresh butter, substance, and elegance, along with a precise sea saltiness that provides freshness and tension. 【A superb, organic Grand Cru from DRC, offering monumental power, elegance, and significant aging potential】
