Tasting Notes
In the glass, this white Burgundy shows a bright, luminous profile that hints at its freshness and lift. The nose is inviting, with aromas of acacia blossom, exotic fruit, and a gentle thread of honey. On the palate, the wine opens with ripe apricot flavors that bring depth and roundness, balanced by a lively, refreshing character. It offers a clean, elegant finish and should drink well in the near term, while retaining enough structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from Rully in Burgundy, the wine comes from a region known for producing precise and mineral-driven white wines shaped by limestone-rich soils and a cool climate. The exact vineyard practices and vinification details are not provided, but the style suggests careful handling aimed at preserving aromatic purity and freshness.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy fish dishes, shellfish, and soft cheeses such as Brie or goat cheese. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is not necessary unless you want to give it a brief aeration before serving.

Producer
Léonce Bocquet was a highly influential wine merchant and winemaker in 19th-century Burgundy, remembered for both his business success and his commitment to preserving the region’s heritage. In 1889, he saved Château du Clos de Vougeot by purchasing and restoring it, and he also helped establish the use of Beaune’s cellars for storing fine Burgundy wines. His legacy remains closely tied to the history and prestige of Burgundy.
