I would drink up. (1340 views) | | Tasted by mhudes on 6/7/2019 & rated 92 points: At GW Fins in New Orleans with Estie and Danny. Medium yellow in color. Lemon zest and apple on the nose. Pears and citrus in the mouth with a tad vanilla and butterscotch, along with a stone nuance. Full bodied, well balanced with nice acidity. Good finish. It went well with all ll of our seafood. (1141 views) | | Tasted by SteelerFan on 6/26/2015 & rated 92 points: Consistent with last tasting. (3321 views) | | Tasted by SteelerFan on 5/27/2015 & rated 92 points: Delicious medium body chardonnay. Nice body and complexity. Drinking well, but certainly could improve over the next few years. (3255 views) | | Tasted by duchamp on 3/8/2014 & rated 94 points: Medium yellow, big ripe nose of butterscotch, pear, pineapple, lemon curd and flinty/mineral undertones, palate moves from strength-to-strength with white peach, wet stones, floral lift and mineral streaks, finish is long, ripe and perfectly in balance (4145 views) | | Tasted by anonymoose12345 on 9/15/2013 & rated 92 points: Medium weight. Oak on the nose and the finish. Citrus, tart fruit on the finish. Best wine of the night. (3439 views) | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 9/12/2013: Chassagne Montrachet Flight (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Gorgeous floral aromatics with the steeliness that I associate more with Puligny than Chassagne. Medium to lighter bodied, wonderful texture, some leesiness underneath. Lemony, lactic, fine and great length. The first wine and for me, the best in this line up. Just so pure and expressive, almost Grand Cru level. (3876 views) | | Tasted by EdanB on 5/21/2013 & rated 92 points: Medium + intensity on the nose, vanilla & butter, green apple, grapefruit, lemon, apricot, somewhat smoked, very rich. Still very young with very good potential. On the mouth full bodied, very well balanced, medium alcohol, high acidity, stoney minerality, lemon, green apple, complex. Long and very pleasant finish. (1801 views) | | Tasted by godx on 4/20/2013 & rated 90 points: France 2013 - Côte d'Or; 4/20/2013-4/23/2013 (Beaune): Sulphur dominated the nose at first but most of it blew off quickly leaving gunflint, lemon, apple and sea breeze notes. Nice weight on the palate with good acidity and a softer minerally finish. This was quite expressive at first but seems to have tightened up a bit on the nose. Should improve with a few years of age. Excellent. 90+ (2130 views) | | Tasted by tooch on 3/29/2013 & rated 89 points: Final Friday at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): Flinty with really nice pear and apples on the nose. The palate had some oak, but it was integrated pretty nicely. A pretty nice package all together...thought the Chaumes was slightly better. (2077 views) | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 3/29/2013 & rated 91 points: Friday Domaine Tasting- 09 and 10 Red and White Burgundies (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): Nose: This has a fatter quality to the nose with tones of custard, flinty minerals, white peaches, and some tones of lemon curds. There is very good depth with some style to this as well.
Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium/high acidity. The structure is relatively imposing with well balanced tones of custard, minerals, white fruits, and some lemon curds.
Overall: This is very young, and like the other Niellon if this can avoid prem-ox it should really develop into something really good. (2087 views) |

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest" 2019 vintage reports 2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage." 2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy 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
