Puts forth a rich nose with liqueur, vanilla, melon and honey notes. A full mouthfeel is accompanied by apple, spice and smoky elements on the palate. It’s a very good wine for a straightahead Bourgogne Blanc, and its mineral and spice finish is the equal of many village wines.

This wine comes from the walled vineyard in front of Patriarche’s Château de Meursault. Although it is simply Bourgogne Blanc, it is treated as a showpiece vineyard. That explains the richness, the weight and the layers of well-judged new wood. This is as ripe as many Meursaults but will develop more quickly. Imported by Cannon Wines Limited.

Beautifully rich for such a lowly appellation in the Burgundy hierarchy. It is soft, open, dense, with ripeness and balancing acidity as well as flavors of pineapple and citrus pointing up the richness, just touched by wood.

Light, fresh citrus aromas filled by beautiful spicy wood, with lovely crisp final character. The spice and wood add to the crisp juiciness of the wine.

Just an edge of butter gives this wine roundness and extra richness. Along with this character comes ripe peach fruit, lifted with acidity. Ready to drink. Screwcap.

Great black fruits with solid tannins create an impressively dense structure for a wine with a simple Burgundy appellation. The acidity is there, but more important are delicious black plum flavors.

A young, crisp Chardonnay with some sharp elbows of acidity. The peach, apple and citrus flavors are very dry. Offers plenty of polish and length for a regional wine.
