The Róisín Curley Beaune 1er Cru Blanches Fleurs is a truly exceptional Chardonnay that captures the essence of its Premier Cru vineyard. This wine opens with aromas of ripe apricot, lemon blossom, and a hint of vanilla bean, creating an inviting and complex bouquet. On the palate, it offers a vibrant acidity that is beautifully balanced by flavours of golden apple, white peach, and a touch of toasted hazelnut. The texture is rich and creamy, yet maintains a refreshing minerality that leads to a long, elegant finish with subtle notes of brioche and citrus zest. This vintage is a testament to Róisín Curley's meticulous craftsmanship and her ability to highlight the unique terroir of the Blanches Fleurs vineyard.

Mayo native Róisín Curley is a winemaker and one of 420 Masters of Wine in the world. She also has an MSc in Viticulture and Oenology.
Róisín helped in winemaking at such illustrious names as Chateau Latour in Bordeaux, where she worked specifically on their biodynamic project, before finding her true love of terroir expression in Burgundy. In 2015 she established her micro négociant-vinificateur business, Maison Róisín Curley. She operates out of a tiny cellar space in Beaune and currently crafts very small quantities of high-quality wines, preferably from organically grown fruit. Her wines have found a receptive audience in her home country and further afield in markets such as Canada and China.

Pinot Noir (100%)

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered and expressive grape varieties, prized for its elegance, complexity, and ability to reflect terroir like no other. Native to Burgundy, it thrives in cool to moderate climates and is notoriously thin-skinned and finicky to grow, requiring careful vineyard management. In the glass, Pinot Noir typically offers delicate aromas of red berries—such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry—alongside floral notes, forest floor, and subtle spice. Its light to medium body, gentle tannins, and bright acidity make it both graceful and food-friendly. Whether from the limestone slopes of Burgundy, the coastal vineyards of California, the hills of Oregon, or New Zealand’s Central Otago, Pinot Noir captivates with its finesse, transparency, and the ability to age gracefully, making it a favourite among both winemakers and wine lovers alike.

Burgundy - in eastern France, is one of the world’s most revered wine regions, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, complex terroirs, and single-varietal expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Unlike Bordeaux's grand blends, Burgundy focuses on purity and place, with wines that reflect the nuances of individual vineyards—sometimes just a few rows of vines. The region is divided into key subregions: Chablis in the north (crisp, mineral whites), the Côte de Nuits (prestigious reds like Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée), the Côte de Beaune (home to legendary whites like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet), as well as the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. With a mosaic of limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, Burgundy produces wines of finesse, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Its system of classifications—from regional to village, premier cru, and grand cru—is rooted in centuries of tradition and terroir-driven philosophy.
