2019 Domaine Pierre Guillemot 'Dessus les Gollardes' Blanc Savigny-les-Beaune

Winemaker's Notes: "Fresh lemon with the lightest of green touches. Yet again I adore the nose of this cuvee, which has the lightest of licorice inflections, mixing in really well with the full yellow plum, but not peachy aromas. Soft rich finish, now more white fruit, and a faint mandarin tingle." - Jasper Morris, MW

The vineyard was planted in 1957. It is 30% Chardonnay and 70% Pinot Gouges, a rare strain of albino Pinot Noir discovered by the great Henri Gouges. In the 1930's some of his Pinot Noir vines mutated from red to white grapes. Monsieur Gouges propagated these cuttings and distributed some to various vigneron friends.
