Notes from Becky Wasserman:
"In the Hautes Cotes de Beaune. Above Les Monts de Fussey and just below Mainbey, steep slope."
Jasper Morris:
"55 year old vines. Lemon in the colour, and what nobility on the nose. The aromatics are different but this makes me think of a great Riesling. This takes Aligoté to a new level for me. Everything is so perfectly and naturally poised. Tingling stones throughout, only the lightest tingle of citrus, just really gorgeous."
