Nores from Beaune Imports:

"From one single vineyard (.7 hectare), mid-slope planted in the winter of 1987-88.
The nose shows notes of butter, bright floral fruit with some mineral notes. In the mouth, the aromatics follow along the same lines with great precision and nice complexity. Hazelnut and apple notes present themselves harmoniously with some herbal notes. Nice acid and good persistence cause this to linger on the palate. Very fine.

Founded in 1869, this family-run estate, like most during that time, was originally structured on a poly-culture model; vines, grain and livestock. It gradually evolved to producing only grapes and wine over the last 50 years and is now run by Jean-Marie (father) and Damien (son) Courbet. The estate now comprises 7.5 hectares of vineyards. Half are located on the slopes directly below the famous village of Château-Chalon which is arguably the greatest appellation of the region. The balance of the vineyards are located nearby in the communes of Domblans and Menétru."
