  A floral aroma of acacia and linden blossom announces this delicate yet rich white. The white flower, lemon verbena and spice flavors are subtle, meshing seamlessly with the lush texture. Shows fine harmony overall, with a long finish. Drink now through 2024.

  This 4.89-acre vineyard, wholly owned by Bouchard Père & Fils, sits in the center of the hill on the Pommard side of Beaune. It offers a substantial 2017, with fruit highlights of cara cara oranges and tart pink grapefruit, the citrus melding into the hazelnut richness of oak as the wine mellows with air. It’s polished and pretty, with a tension that suggests a long life ahead.

  This has a wealth of peach and gently nutty notes with a smooth array of fresh bread and hazelnut biscuits on the palate. Good freshness here with yellow peach to close.
• 91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos Saint-Landry Blanc offers up an inviting bouquet of fresh pear, yellow orchard fruit, drawn butter and freshly cut herbs. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a fleshy core of succulent fruit and a generous, open-knit but nicely delineated profile.

  COMMENTARY: The 2017 Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Clos Saint Landry Premier Cru is a distinctive wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows more than just fruit. Its aromas and flavors of ripe fruit, dusty earth, and savory spices should pair it superbly with steamed fish in a mild-spicy Hunan sauce. (Tasted: March 14, 2019, San Francisco, CA)
