 Tasted by RobinTeo on 8/31/2022 & rated 92 points: Arnaud Ente Vertical Bourgogne Blanc (2009/2014/2017)

The best wine of the night for me. With some age and development, the ripeness of the vintage has mellowed and now showing beautifully. White flowers, cream and marzipan cheese come to the fore with crispy acidity delineating the lush and opulent palate lemongrass and mango. Stunning balance and a treat (236 views)
 Tasted by TheFrog on 2/25/2015 & rated 89 points: superbe nez, pierre a fusil et zeste de citron. En bouche frais avec des arones de vanilke et une belke tension. Un bourgogne village au niveau des 1er crus de certains (1741 views)
 Tasted by euroyup on 7/8/2014: Kept under condition one since september 2012 (see my profile). Taste: lemon, lightly sour, with fine, but not very prominent fruit and rather much, but fine oak. After some time in the glass a bit better integrated. I read that the 2009 white burgundies are not to keep for a long time. Maybe that's the reason why this second bottle of this wine disappointed me still more than the first despite all the previous positive notes about it. 85. (1691 views)
 Tasted by frebro on 5/26/2014 & rated 87 points: Third bottle, less burnt rubber more minerals, pineapple, pear, better acidity. Enjoyable. (1670 views)
 Tasted by frebro on 4/17/2014 & rated 84 points: Marred by a very dominant note of burnt rubber. Nothing wrong w the basic aroma, just unbalanced. You'll aldo find plenty of minerality, buttery tropical floral notes and well integrated acidity. Drink pretty soon and hope you find the rubber notes less intrusive than what I did. Airing seemed to make the wine improve, basic problem still there, though. (1695 views)
 Tasted by euroyup on 3/25/2014: Kept under condition 2 since September 2012. Colour: straw yellow. Nose: above all oak, besides that once and a while nice, but faint citrus, apple and other notes. Taste: follows the nose. Relying on the very good earlier tasting notes of this wine, this bottle was to old and showed only a shadow of its former qualities: the fruit had mostly, or almost fully disappeared, and what remained was a mere “framework” of oak. A pity. When kept under this condition: drink up! 86. (1642 views)
 Tasted by Handbergmikkelsen on 8/27/2013 & rated 91 points: Stunning. All you want from white burgundy. (1114 views)
 Tasted by Herve on 4/20/2013 & rated 90 points: Impressionnant pour un Bourgogne générique. Magnifique équilibre et belle longueur. Bravo (1045 views)
 Tasted by olofst on 12/8/2012: Rich and opulent, yet clean and well balanced with fine acidity. (1282 views)
 Tasted by Vintomas on 9/24/2012 & rated 89 points: Red 2007 Guigal Masterclass (Stockholm): Nose with ripe yellow fruit, apple, some oak, some flowery and perfumed notes. Medium bodied+, palate with ripe yellow fruit, some honey, good acidity, rather long aftertaste. Rather young, but fully accessible. 89 p (1324 views)

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
