Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Collector1855 on 7/20/2021 & rated 93 points: 20 years old and fully mature. Lovely nutty, tertiary aromas with yellow fruit, lemon oil. Medium+ bodied, still good freshness its age. (1757 views)
 Tasted by bubucap on 4/13/2021 flawed bottle: Kork....what a pitty...absolutly alive (608 views)
 Tasted by abh on 12/2/2018: Fresher than the other bottle I've had - a strong butterscotch note in the nose but in a positive, mature, way, and the wine still fully integrated. Delicious, rich, old-school white burgundy. Oxidation did kick in after awhile - don't leave it too long, either to open a bottle or to drink it once it is open. (964 views)
 Tasted by abh on 7/16/2018: French Wine at Lunch, and with the World Cup final: Concentrated, powerful, wine slightly showing its age: not oxidized but getting a little fat and the acidity sticking out a tiny bit too. A proper wine still, but time to drink up. (1440 views)
 Tasted by RationalDenial on 7/29/2009 & rated 90 points: Not sure this is slowing down anytime soon. Bright, fresh, pure fruit. Zippy acidity. Beautiful minerality that expresses on the finish. Still quite a bit of oak. This has all the vibrancy of youth but with the seamless integration that comes with some age.

For those still holding bottles, I left a glass in the bottle overnight. If that's a predictor for age-ability, this one can keep going. Still beautiful on the second day, a small fade to the fruit (somewhere between slight and imperceptible on the scale). (2769 views)
 Tasted by 60ouvrees on 11/28/2008: Less impressive than the bottle we had earlier in the year. Time to drink up, I guess. (2336 views)
 Tasted by 60ouvrees on 4/5/2008: This is drinking very nicely. Citrus, pineapple and subtle creamy oak on the nose. Plenty of fruit balanced by excellent acidity. Not sure if this will improve but it should keep for several more years. (2401 views)
 Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 3/30/2007 & rated 90 points: A business lunch (Restaurant Oud Sluis ***, Sluis, Netherlands): Very chalky, young, limited weight and concentration, finesse and beautifully integrated oak but light. Pleasant but not great. (2201 views)
 Tasted by CamWheeler on 3/14/2006 & rated 91 points: Sydney 1st Growth Bordeaux/Grand Cru Burgundy Dinner (Marque Restaurant): This was the best of the white wines in my opinion. Showing aromas of grapefruit, honey and some spicy oak on the nose. The palate is lean and tight but with much better balance and length than the Chablis. This wine shows excellent potential.

 Tasted by rooview on 11/5/2005: Restrained, understated but full of finesse. Will leave the others for at least a year. (1617 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
