En Beauvoir Bourgogne AOC 2006 WHITE France

Affordable great white Burgundy is no longer a mythical beast! Our wonderful Chai on the quayside of Castillon in Bordeaux allows us to source fantastic parcels of wine age them to perfection and then release them to you at realistic prices. We asked Bernard Derain - our best man in Burgundy - to source us a parcel of super-premium Chardonnay. And what a vintage to open with! 2006 has been rated even better for white Burgundy than 2005 (a year of new superlatives)! Bernard settled on the En Beauvoir vineyard whose low-yielding vines average 40 years of age ... then carefully barrel-fermented the hand-picked grapes in his cellar before the wine reached Le Chai where it's still maturing in the finest French oak. One top writer (he'll remain anonymous to save his blushes) rated it the finest Meursault he'd tasted all year ... very satisfying! "Aromas of creamy citrus and buttery apricot. Enticingly creamy and elegant - unmistakably fine Burgundy. Enjoy to 2010."
