Beaune Grèves le Clos Premier Cru Blanc 2018
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
An unusual dry white from a site better know for red yet very opulent, bold and compelling
Harvest Note
This was a somewhat turbulent growing season. Lack of soil moisture and a poor fruit set diminished the harvest volumes.
Tasting Note
Opulent notes of candied pear, wet straw, damp earth and ground coffee surround the soft and subtle mouthfeel.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
