We had this wine down south and were so impressed that we had to find it and put it on our own list. This is a village wine from below (“dessous” pronounced “dessus”) the road, not the 1er cru from above (”dessus”, pronounced “dessous” ) the road which is obviously completely different (and which we have tucked away somewhere for another year). The reason why this wine is such a sumptuous example of top quality white Burgundy becomes clear from a look at the map – the vineyard Les Blanchots is right next to the vineyards of Le Montrachet and Les Criots Batard Montrachet, grand cru vineyards that make the best dry white wines in the world.
