Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc opens in the glass with a pretty and youthfully expressive bouquet of crisp green orchard fruit, white flowers and hazelnuts. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a bright spine of acidity that structures the wine's generous core of fruit. Raphaël Coche opted to supplement grapes from the domaine's holdings with some purchased fruit this year, and the resulting wine is very fine indeed.

An aromatic white Burgundy with plenty of candied citrus plus notes of fresh butter, smoked bacon and flint. For this appellation it has quite serious structure, with restrained creaminess, acidity and healthy tannins all beautifully integrated. Quite a zesty finish that pulls you back for more. Still plenty of life in this! Drink or hold.
