According to Wikipedia, a ‘benchmark’ is a chiselled horizontal mark that surveyors make in stone structures, into which an angle-iron may be placed to form a ‘bench’ for a levelling rod, thus ensuring that a levelling rod can be accurately repositioned in the same place in the future. Wrong! So wrong! It’s this Bourgogne Blanc - an absolutely benchmark white Burgundy with a classic bouquet of white peach, brioche, cold white butter and crème pâtissière, which frame a core of lemon, grapefruit jelly and lime peel, with a hint of jalapeno for good measure. The palate is ripe with flesh to its bones and perks up your taste buds with its zingy fruit before massaging them gently with the creamier flavours. Its real magic, the thrill, however, is in its proportions, its balance, its polished acidity and its finesse. When you need a lovely white Burgundy that is quite special, but doesn’t break the bank, then this fits the bill perfectly. Try it with Dover sole in caper butter sauce, some whitebait with tartare sauce, seared scallops with pea puree or just a classic roast chicken. 13% alc. Drink now – 2026.

The Burgundy Report: "A more direct and steely aromatic. More fluid flavour too – framed by grainless tannin – that has super intensity – simply excellent Bourgogne and for the prices here a great wine! Love that finish."
