Winemaker's Notes:

This complex, firmly structured white Burgundy balances full body and elegance in a layered palette of pears, citrus and vanilla offset by a flintiness and a suggestion of cinnamon spice in the bouquet and extended finish.

"An opulent, extroverted white, full of peach, lemon, vanilla and smoke flavors. It has a subtle structure that keeps it balanced and the finish is long, with a touch of heat that will become more integrated as this evolves. Best from 2007 through 2018. 175 cases imported."
