An elegant white, this offers floral, apple, lemon and spice flavors, allied to a vibrant structure. It's open and harmonious, leaving a lemon element on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2025.

The 2018 Beaune du Château ler Cru comes from 26 hectares of vine over 27 parcels and was created in 1907. It has a straightforward blackberry and wild strawberry bouquet with just a touch of kirsch. The palate is sweet and slightly chewy on the entry. Good depth here, but not much complexity. The dense blackberry and raspberry finish reveals a touch of spice. Drink over the next decade.

Generous and charming, the 2018 Beaune 1er Cru du Château Blanc offers up aromas of ripe pears, fresh pastry and white flowers. Medium-bodied, fleshy and moderately concentrated, it's round and giving. This will show well young, even if it doesn't appear to possess the cut or structure for long-term improvement.
