This medium yellow-gold wine shows impressive density for a village-level offering. White peach, jasmine, citrus and apple are intertwined in a light-to-medium-bodied, minerally frame. There is a nicely integrated dollop of oak that elevates the wine's complexity. Crisply acidic and without alcoholic heat (13%), it stays solid in the middle and closes with medium length. Delicious now, this has the structure to drink well for at least another 3-4 years. Drink now-2020.

France 2013 - Côte d'Or; 4/24/2013-4/26/2013 (Beaune): Tasted at the Domaine. From barrel. This needed a bit of coaxing to emerge from the glass but eventually nice floral, yellow fruit and apple came out to play. A bit weightier than the previous wines a good bit of dry extract on the palate and a minerally finish. (88-90).

A little oak, straw basket, light nuttiness and reduction, pear juice and good saline and mineral end.
