Billaud-Simon Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2021
The nose is greeted by an enticing bouquet of delicate white flowers, intertwined with subtle notes of citrus blossom and a hint of honeysuckle.

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.
