Description
The 2021 Nuits-Blanches au Bouge is wonderfully bright and pure, opening with notes of lemon zest and white flowers on the nose with a whiff of smoke. On the palate it is more serious and weighty with a magnificent texture. Notes of lemon curd, pear, peach and green mango along with lime flower, ginger and fennel leaf. It displays impressive balance, savoury, fresh and zippy, this is wickedly drinkable already but will age gracefully until 2035.

About this wine
Chardonnay
Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
