This must be one of those white Burgundy experiences you read about. I thought I had picked a red DJP Beaune 1er Cru Les Champs Pimont until I opened it after the main dish as a contemplative red (yes, don't ask). It turned out to be the white one. And what a white it was. Medium golden, viscous with 13% abv. Aromas of almond, ripe apples, honey, coconut, pineapple, butter and an ever so slight hint of sherry. Dry, medium rich acidity, medium tannin, medium alcohol and full+ body. What an experience, pineapple, cocos, baked apple, lemon pith, toast framed by a opulent texture. A richness and expanse and elegance I never experienced in a white wine before. An long, long finish where the richness, fresh acidity, and white peppers linger, linger, and linger. Words fail.

The wine looks straw colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like grapefruit and lemon. It tastes like grapefruit, lemon and melon. The body is medium/full. The wine has angular texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
