The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru du Chateau Blanc was picked 2 and 3 September when the skins attained a golden color, and underwent the length and intensity of pressing compared to previous vintages. I found the nose rather distant, missing a personality that can be easily defined. The palate is better with fresh peach, nectarine and dried honey notes, the acidity nicely judged with tropical hints towards the finish. If the aromatics just manifest something to say, then this will be a fine Beaune Blanc...so maybe afford it 3-4 years bottle age and hopefully it will gain more personality.
