Producer tasting notes: ""A wine full of charm! The colour is a beautiful white gold, with a ravishing purity and brilliance. The aromas are fresh and fruity, with nuances of broom shrub (genĂȘt), almond and delicious preserved citrus notes. On the palate, it is fresh and elegant. A long and delicious aftertaste makes for a lasting impression"." - Joseph Drouhin

Sorting: if necessary, the grapes are sorted twice : once when being picked, the second time on the sorting table at the winery. Pressing: very slow so as to respect fruit. Juices from the very last pressings are not retained. The wine goes directly into barrels after "débourbage" (decanting of white wine to reduce sediment).

Vintage quality: Excellent
Current condition: Ready to drink
Burgundy enjoyed an excellent 2003 vintage.
A mild, damp winter gave way to an early spring and, despite some frost and hail, both budburst and flowering occurred sooner than expected. These haphazard conditions eventually gave way to an extremely long searing hot s...
