Rare white Beaune from the Belissand premier cru. Bright straw gold with aromas of white peach, pear, acacia blossom, and citrus zest layered with hazelnut and gentle toast. The palate is medium to full in body with lively acidity, a touch of flinty minerality, and a long, savory finish. Delicious now and even better after a short rest.
