Domaine Denis Carre Hautes Cotes De Beaune Blanc 2018

Description

The Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc from Denis Carre is a beautiful, everyday white Burgundy (what a treat to finally have enough wine available to actually say this!). Great minerality, lovely lemon and zesty notes, super fine and just a touch of oak to give the wine a weight that simply dances across the tongue. The excitement over the 2018 vintage in the Côte d’Or is well-known, and it’s well warranted. The weather was perfect during the growing season, Mother Nature was kind, and yields were high across the region. This had vignerons giddy, and wine lovers all over are ready to pounce – after waiting patiently for a robust and idyllic vintage like 2018. This is one to load up on if you’re a fan of the complexity and uniqueness that only White Burgundy can offer. Carre is a true boutique style producer, who practices organic farming over his 14 hectares, and does an awesome job of just letting the terroir do the talking in all of his bottlings. This wine is pristinely clean and sharp – a tremendous effort from an absolute hidden gem in the high slopes.
