Françoise André - Beaune 1er cru « Belissand » 2018
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
This is the only white wine from the appellation in this selection, but what a white wine! It is also the estate's first vintage from this Premier Cru vineyard located at the foot of the Beaune mountain, which owes its name to the "very radiant" Gallic goddess Belisama. The wine has a pale, brilliant gold color and opens with notes of dried fruit, white flowers, brioche, and a touch of vanilla. Beautifully full-bodied, rich without being heavy, floral, and fruity, the palate perfectly integrates the wood before a finish refreshed by a hint of saltiness. A truly radiant Beaune.
