Bourgogne, Blanc, Terroir d'Exception, 2015
This hails from a plot of 40-year-old vines between Albert Grivault's Clos des Perrières and Perrières itself. A premier cru site if ever you saw one but for the fact that it was a quarry up until 1977, which has meant that it was never classed as such. Aged in 30% new oak. Due to the size of the crop we were not able to taste this cuvée.
critic reviews
The 2015 Bourgogne Terroir d'Exception has an attractive bouquet with scents of apple blossom, cold stone and a subtle, almost Muscat-like scent that lends complexity. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity. I like the energy here, but most of all the unexpected salinity on the finish that urges you back for another sip. Considering this a mere white Burgundy, at least in legal terms, is it exceptionally fine.
