Sautéed langoustine with Chardonnay reduction, grilled asparagus with saffron aioli or grilled salmon with Thai curry sauce and basmati rice.

TASTING NOTE:

As the name "dessus" suggests, this lies above Les Marconnets, on the border with Savigny and at the beginning of the wooded Montagne de Beaune. Green-gold in colour, this hints at lemon puff biscuits, citrus drizzle cake and tarte tatin. The palate follows with green apples, stony minerals and buttered shortcake – lovely balance. The finish is lively, upbeat and focused with terrific energy – a fine flag-bearer.
