Billaud-Simon Chablis Premier Cru Milieu 2021
Historically, the hill of Mont de Milieu used to have a boundary running through its middle, separating the county of Champagne and the duchy of Burgundy.
The nose is greeted by an enticing bouquet of delicate white flowers, intertwined with subtle notes of citrus blossom and a hint of honeysuckle. Beneath this floral veil lies a mineral core, evocative of wet stones after a summer rain, complemented by whispers of flint and sea breeze, a signature of the Chablis terroir.
Drouhin 2018 Beaune Clos Des Mouches
An exceptional wine. The color is a bright pale yellow. The floral nose is complex: white lilac, white rose. Once more open, the fruity aromas emerge, which evolve towards intense notes of hazelnut and toasted almond. For those who have reached maturity, the nose surprises with its power, after about fifteen minutes of aeration: white truffle, citron, honey, nutmeg respond with a singular elegance. On the palate, the wine has liveliness. We feel the richness but also the structure and a certain minerality. The wine has fat without ever being heavy, it gives a beautiful fullness on the finish. We find the complexity and elegance of a Bâtard-Montrachet, harmoniously combined with the fullness of a Corton-Charlemagne.
