Crafted with the meticulous approach that Jean-Marie Guffens dubs Grand Elevage, this Bourgogne Blanc transcends its category, embodying a winemaking philosophy typically reserved for more prestigious appellations. Fermented and matured in barrels, with 15% new oak infusion, this white Burgundy showcases a commitment to excellence that echoes the practices of pricier wines.
Sourced from the esteemed vineyards of Peronne and Pierreclos, this wine boasts a luminous hue and an enticing aromatic profile. Upon the first encounter, the senses are greeted with a burst of forward citrus and orchard fruit. Layers of complexity unfold, accompanied by subtle notes of sweet smoke and a hint of fresh ginger, setting the stage for a captivating experience.
The palate mirrors the brightness of the color and aroma, revealing a tangy character enriched with the crunch of ripe peach and the zest of lively lemons. This creates a vibrant and approachable style, where freshness takes center stage without any harsh edges. A delicate interplay of flavors is heightened by a touch of smoke and textural richness, contributing to a harmonious and finely balanced composition.
While it delights the senses in its youth, showcasing the brilliance of fresh fruit intertwined with refreshing acidity, this white Burgundy exhibits an age-worthy quality. Best enjoyed in its prime, the wine captures the essence of balance, making it a beautiful and expressive choice for those seeking a harmonious marriage of fruit, acidity, and texture.
