Tasting notes
The Bourgogne Blanc 2009 has a deep silvery/golden hue. The nose has developed a beeswax and dried honey tincture that is well defined, touches of Turkish Delight revealed with 15-20 minutes aeration in the glass. Then it mutates again with pine needles and even fino-like scents! How mercurial! The palate has a waxy texture, almost Rhône-like in style as I remarked to Jean-Luc Pepin sitting next to me. There is an appealing resinous note here, the acidity a little lower than other vintages but with a lovely tangy lemongrass-tinged finish. Drink this now and over the next 5-6 years.

The rarely seen 2009 Bourgogne Blanc is made from young Chardonnay vines planted in Musigny. The 2009 impresses for its textural elegance. Lemon, pastry, white flowers, crème brulée and hints of tropical fruit wrap around the finish. A subtle note of minerality acts to balance some of the wine's more overt tendencies. This is a lovely effort.
