A deeper and more clayey terroir which is significantly exposed to more ripening heat in the summer, the Butteaux yields concentrated wines which are structured and very floral, with elegance and strength making them wines which are very representative of this appellation.
"Linear and elegant on the palate. Certainly a premier cru with great purity of fruit and one that, in 2022, is perhaps a little more classic in style. Refined, not a blockbuster. The deeper clay soils here provide additional protection in dry, warm summers." — 92 Points, Andy Howard MW, Decanter Magazine
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
