Maxime Crotet 'Matilda' Bourgogne Blanc 2022

Maxime Crotet 'Matilda' Bourgogne Blanc 2022Fruit from Pernand Vergelesses, there is some battonage, but not much, and spends 10 months in older oak barrels. Meadow flowers, some toasty lees notes, this is a less buttoned up take on white Burgundy that delivers elegance and sumptuousness with a soulful touch. Maxime Crotet learned about organic farming from natural winemakers like Fred Cossard and recently started his own label based in Beaune and sourcing fruit from Burgundy and the Jura.
