Joseph Drouhin Cote de Beaune Blanc 2012
Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceFrom estate grapes on the Côte de Beaune as well as some declassified wine from the young vines off the famous Clos des Mouches vineyard. Expressive honeycomb, green apple and citrus aromas open this medium bodied, creamy white, one plumped by a year in barrel (20 percent new). Lively fine citrus lifts the palate, carrying light nuts, honey, stony mineral and fine lees. Lovely persistent toast on the finish. Very harmonious now, but will reward with 2-4 more years in the cellar. A rare overachieving white wine.Tasted: 11 September 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $39.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
