Iconic White Burgundy Mixed Case
Our finest white burgundy mixed-case offer returns and again via the classic trio of Côte de Beaune icons Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, and Chassagne-Montrachet. A case comprising one selected wine from each appellation (x2 bottles).
First, Puligny-Montrachet, and Domaine Alain Chavy's 2023 Les 8 Climats. A blend of eight small, specific Puligny vineyards, it opens with seductive notes of dried apricot, pineapple, fresh pear, and subtle cedar nuance. On the palate, bursts of apricot, pineapple, and pear, layered with creamy texture balanced by a fresh, mineral zip. Irresistible now, evolving beautifully for years.
Then, two from six-generation Domaine Bachey-Legros: The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet village effort charms with aromas of citrus, pear, and linden blossom for a palate that is rich, rounded, and sun-kissed, then lifted by a fine mineral streak. Seasoned savoir-fair and classic Chassagne terroir expression from a warm, yet fresh and floral vintage.
And, then his 2023 Meursault - with a nose of spring blossom, citrus and orchard fruit leading to a refined, well-balance palate. Has the classic Meursault breadth, with just a hint of toastiness and roasted nuts.
A great introduction to the deservedly celebrated white wines of Burgundy. All three can be drunk and enjoyed now (I know because I have done so) but all three will benefit from laying down for a few more years to develop in the bottle. I wish I'd bought more and hope this value for money offer is repeated in the future - I'll be looking out for it.
