Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Bouchard Pere et Fils, Beaune St. Landry 2016

By

One of my favourite wines from Bouchard Pere et Fils is the white Beaune from Clos St. Landry – and this is also the case in the 2016 vintage. The nose is classic – citrus infused minerality, hint of honey and yellow fruit – intense but still fresh. On the palate intense and very balanced, lovely density with a airy and slightly creamy feel. Classic white Beaune – well priced – and a delightful glass.
