Mischief & Mayhem St Aubin Blanc 2015

In some ways you could say Michael & Fiona Ragg are trying to de-mystify the world of Burgundy and at the same time trying to make beautiful Pinot & Chardonnay from this lofty region at the right price. Procuring fruit from across the Côte-d’Or their wines range from Bourgogne level to Grand Cru, showcasing the varying soils and terroir to be found. Mischief & Mayhem St Aubin Blanc 2015 is a modern take on burgundy but is based in the traditional village of Aloxe Corton and it is this juxtaposition combined with an intimate knowledge of the people, heritage and the terroir of Burgundy that sets them apart.

Bright pale straw in colour, tinged with green and fading to a water white rim. Good intensity on the nose with real fruit definition with citric lime and ripe pear, and hints of flint, yellow plum and spice. On the palate the wine has a fine acidic structure and nice balance. It is rich in flavour, and indeed texture, but not heavy. Nice mineral elements balance well with the creamy citric fruit notes and the finish is long, smooth and extremely well defined.
