Very ripe pineapple fruit aroma lifted by powdered stone, minerals and an exhilarating violet nuance. Big, rich and fat with exotic peachy fruit. Shows a softer texture and less thrust than the Perrieres, owing to low acidity. This wine represents a blend of two separate vinifications, according to Philippe Drouhin. The acidity level in one lot was so low that part of the malolactic fermentation was blocked.

Expressive, slightly exotic nose combines peach, apricot, pineapple and sweet oak scents. A fat, sweet fruit bomb with apricot, nutmeg and buttery pastry flavors. Comes across as less minerally and gripping than the Corton-Charlemagne or Meursault Perrieres; in fact, this strikes me as more chardonnay than Batard. But really coats the mouth on the back end.
