The 2017 Bourgogne Chardonnay offers up pretty aromas of green apples, citrus oil, lime cordial, white flowers and a subtle touch of wheat toast. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with an elegantly textural attack, racy acids and a certain sweetness of fruit that lends this Bourgogne upfront charm. Pierre-Yves Colin described the 2017 vintage as ‘pure and transparent,’ with the wines nicely defined by their terroirs. They are, he adds, ‘more charming than I imagined—less “cold” in style.’ Old vines, he says, produced notably more interesting musts than younger plantings, an observation borne out along the Côte.
