Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Product Details

Le Blanc de Blancs is produced in small quantities in exceptional years only and fully expresses the superb calibre of great Chardonnay from the best crus of the Côte des Blancs. After 6 years ageing in our cellars, remarkable minerality and low dosage make this an outstanding wine that can accompany a variety of fl avoursome dishes including poultry and fi sh, or be served on its own to celebrate a special occasion.

• 100% Chardonnay • 100% Côte des Blancs Grands Crus - Le Mesnil-sur-Oger - Chouilly - Cramant

• Average 6-years ageing on the lees • Dosage: 6 grams / litre • Alcohol Level: 12%

THE TASTING NOTES • Colour: Bright, light yellow, with a very fi ne and abundant bubble. • Nose: Delicate, but already very expressive, the nose features a great aromatic freshness, with notes of lemon, white fruits, yellow plums and frangipani. • Palate: Right from the start, it is light, yet voluptuous and vibrant, showing a silky texture with a touch of raciness. It features notes of citrus fruit and white flowers, culminating in a long finish, tightly wound on a pure line of the chalky minerality that Côte des Blancs is famous for.

THE FOOD PAIRINGS Le Blanc de Blancs 2012 is a great epicurian apéritif on its own, but will also pair beautifully with seared sea scallops with preserved Meyer lemon or with a turbot fi llet with a seaweed-infused beurre blanc sauce.
