The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc opens in the glass with a pretty and youthfully expressive bouquet of crisp green orchard fruit, white flowers and hazelnuts. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a bright spine of acidity that structures the wine's generous core of fruit. Raphaël Coche opted to supplement grapes from the domaine's holdings with some purchased fruit this year, and the resulting wine is very fine indeed.

An aromatic white Burgundy with plenty of candied citrus plus notes of fresh butter, smoked bacon and flint. For this appellation it has quite serious structure, with restrained creaminess, acidity and healthy tannins all beautifully integrated. Quite a zesty finish that pulls you back for more. Still plenty of life in this!

2017 had very short skin-contact time, six hours, because not perfectly ripe. They don’t work with perfectly clear juice.
Butterscotchy nose. Inbuilt bitterness and deep-rooted into the palate. Muscle. The structure seems to come more from smoke and bitterness, and a citric stoniness, than from acidity. Really, really grippy finish. Determined. Salty and tight but not aggressive. Gets more smoky and sweet on the nose in glass. This tastes pretty superior for a bourgogne Chardonnay. (TC)

The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc, unlike the previous vintage, comes entirely from the domaine in Meursault, the 2016 having been supplemented with fruit from the Mâconnais in order to maintain a two-year barrel rotation. It has a well-defined bouquet with scents of apple blossom and hints of coconut and orange blossom. The palate is expressive on the entry, which features a touch of lemongrass, and very well balanced, leading to a precise, saline, approachable finish.

An extremely fresh nose speaks of mostly ripe apple, citrus and matchstick aromas. The sleek, juicy and utterly delicious middle weight flavors possess good mid-palate density before concluding in a lingering finish. This could use a bit more complexity, but the underlying material should enable it to develop more over the next few years.
