The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru du Chateau Blanc had been assembled in foudre when I tasted it. Exhibiting aromas of pear, hazelnuts, white flowers, freshly baked bread and orange oil, it's a medium to full-bodied, chalky and incisive wine with lively acids and a saline finish.

The 2019 Beaune 1er Cru du Chateau Blanc offers up aromas of pear, white flowers and peaches, framed by a deft touch of oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and enveloping, it's lively and textural, with good underlying acidity. This is a charming, expressive introduction to the vintage, appellation and maison.

Generous and charming, the 2018 Beaune 1er Cru du Chateau Blanc offers up aromas of ripe pears, fresh pastry and white flowers. Medium-bodied, fleshy and moderately concentrated, it's round and giving. This will show well young, even if it doesn't appear to possess the cut or structure for long-term improvement.

The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru du Chateau Blanc displays aromas of green orchard fruit, blanched almonds and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, elegantly delicate palate with good concentration and a saline finish. Supple and open-knit, it will drink well in its youth.
