 Tasted by Luckey on 4/29/2020 & rated 94 points: Beautiful straw color, no oxidation, and surprisingly fresh with sufficient acidity. Nose was on the subtle side, but kept my interest through the entire bottle. Paired perfectly with a mild chicken curry and rice dish. I have two remaining bottles, and will aim to drink them before the end of 2022. The bottle is in peak form and I don't expect it to improve. (649 views)
 Tasted by Seth Rosenberg on 6/3/2018 & rated 95 points: Beautiful aged White Burgundy: Nose of mint, green herbals and grass, tart lime-lemon citrus, steely crushed minerals, salty umami, some florals and just a touch of deeper bass oak/butterscotch/nuts. Deep and gripping on the palate - great acid and bite, wonderful texture: more cool herbs and mint, lime-lemon, rocks, steel, flowers, salty nuts. Long driving finish with mint, nuts, salty. In a great place and will hold for at least a decade. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Finish - 1.5/2 = 17.5/20. (1799 views)
 Tasted by RyanJames on 7/8/2016 & rated 93 points: Textbook Puligny-Montrachet with a score that is probably underrating based off the fact that my palate has veered more towards a creamier, oakier, more "Meursault-like" style. Steely, lots of lemon, grapefruit, a touch of subtle oak, impeccable balance, and quite frankly, not a lot of evolution for a 14 year-old white wine. This tells me that 1) 2002 was a ridiculously good, ageless vintage and 2) this was a great bottle. I wish they could all be like this. (1703 views)
 Tasted by Seth Rosenberg on 1/8/2011 & rated 92 points: Purchased on release from Premier Cru. Nose: Lots of well-integrated oak. Salty. Minerals Palate: Very big on entry, but taught and racy throughout. Lots of acid, and lemon with steely minerality. Very lively and juicy but serious. Slides nicely into a lemony and acidic finish. Nose: 4/6, Palate: 6/6, Finish: 5/6, Je ne sais quoi (wild card): 1/2 = 16/20 = 92/100 (2781 views)
 Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 8/30/2008 & rated 92 points: Burgundy and Pinot Lunch at Mischa's with Allen Meadows (Portola Valley, California): Minerals, grapefruit and refined citrus nose; tasty, tart citrus, grapefruit and minerals palate; medium-plus finish 92+ pts. (1951 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
