Sylvain Dussort Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée des Coutures 2015: A Taste of Classic Burgundy
The Sylvain Dussort Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée des Coutures 2015 is a delightful expression of white Burgundy, showcasing the classic characteristics of Chardonnay from this renowned region.
Crafted by the esteemed Domaine Sylvain Dussort, this wine comes from younger vines (15-35 years old) located in prime sites within the Meursault area. These vineyards, including Les Dressolles, Les Grandes Coutures, Les Lame-Roses, and Les Durots, contribute to the wine's vibrant fruit and refreshing character.
With a focus on minimal oak influence, this cuvée emphasizes the purity of the fruit and the terroir.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: A bright, pale lemon-green color, indicative of its youth and freshness. Crystal clear and inviting in the glass.
- Aroma: The nose is greeted with an inviting bouquet of citrus fruits, such as Meyer lemon and grapefruit zest, intertwined with subtle floral notes of white blossoms and a delicate hint of flinty minerality. A touch of fresh almond adds complexity.
- Palate: On the palate, the wine is light to medium-bodied with a refreshing, almost electric acidity that enlivens the senses. The vibrant citrus flavors are complemented by a delicate minerality and a subtle saline note that speaks to the terroir. The wine offers a rounded mouthfeel, thanks to a touch of lees contact, but remains remarkably focused and clean.
- The finish is dry and lingering, with a subtle echo of citrus and minerality.
The Sylvain Dussort Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée des Coutures 2015 is a beautifully balanced and elegant wine. It showcases the classic characteristics of white Burgundy with its vibrant fruit, refreshing acidity, and subtle minerality. This wine is approachable and enjoyable now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully for a few more years, developing further complexity.
Food Pairing:
This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including:
- Seafood: Grilled fish (especially lean white fish like sole or cod), shrimp scampi, oysters on the half shell, or seared scallops.
- Poultry: Roasted chicken or turkey, especially with lemon and herb seasoning.
- Salads: Green salads with a light vinaigrette dressing, or a classic Salade Lyonnaise.
- Cheese: Soft cheeses such as brie, goat cheese, or Comté. It also pairs well with slightly firmer cheeses.
- Vegetarian Dishes: Consider dishes with lemon, herbs, and a touch of richness, like a lemon risotto or asparagus with hollandaise sauce.
Serving Recommendation:
- Serve chilled at around 50-55°F (10-13°C) to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors.
- A slightly wider bowl-shaped glass will help concentrate the aromas.
Enjoy this delightful white Burgundy that captures the essence of its terroir and the passion of its producer!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
