Hautes Cotes de Beaune 2014

So, this is Chardonnay from the same region as the wines of Puligny Montrachet and Meursault. Obviously from different vineyards but you get the idea. You’ll pay way more for those wines but if you want to get a taste of what this region can do with Chardonnay when made well, this is one way to do it. Fresh, crisp and with bright, lemony fruit and an almost creamy character to it, the wine is brilliant value for money. And looks more expensive than it is (always good).
