-med+ acidity, med/med- weight sappy intense citrus saline, good length
-drinking well squarely on mature plateau (751 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 1/1/2017: Tasted over 2 hrs
-translucent pale gold
-somewhat shy waxy sea breeze citrus
-med acidity, med- weight sappy steely fresh grapefruit touch of spice (cinnamon?) really opens up and gains complexity with air, good length
-excellent now, no prem-ox, may be the finest of Tribut's 2010s, this bottle has more cut and focus than last 2 bottles last year (1162 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 8/2/2016: Tasted over 2 hrs
-translucent light gold
-subtle wet stone and lemon, sea breeze and sweet stone fruits emerge as it warms
-med acidity, med weight and concentration slightly creamy, much of the primary fruit has faded but still with lemon zest on a minerally base, slight bitter edge on med length finish
-probably nearing a plateau though should still improve if it picks up mature elements that add complexity (1237 views)
 Tasted by havarhar on 7/2/2016 & rated 85 points: Meget lys gul farge. Masse lukter. Lukt av gress, litt karamell, smør og gule epler. Syrlig anslag. Modne gule epler. Mye gress. God fylde. Smøraktig. Relativ lang for å være hvitvin. (1127 views)

-translucent light/med gold
-very ripe bordering tropical, good minerality
-med/med+ acidity, med+ concentration, sappy ripe citrus stone, moderately long finish
-flirting with over-ripeness but great minerality and balancing acidity, noticeably evolving over the past year (1281 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 7/30/2015: PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs
-translucent light gold
-moderately aromatic with decent complexity, fading ripe fruit and some sea breeze
-med/med+ acidity, med weight, focused, ripe but not over-ripe citrus and a bit of waxiness, good minerality, med+ finish, no signs of oxidation
-excellent, drinking well now, stylistically a hypothetical blend of Vincent Dauvissat and Billaud-Simon, has evolved since last bottle (1085 views)
 Tasted by Cote d'Or on 5/7/2015: PopnPour, tasted over 1 hr and Day 2
-translucent nearly colorless pale yellow
-somewhat reticent grapefruit, saline, lemonade
-very soft initial entry then med acidity kicks in late, lighter weight that lacks depth but with a linear haunting intense shell of waxy slightly bitter grapefruit lemon with a long finish
-somewhat atypical Chablis, stylistically reminiscent of Billaud-Simon, suspect this will become even more interesting over next 5 years (749 views)
 Tasted by jannis68 on 3/7/2014 & rated 91 points: tidevann, lime og relativt tilkneppet. Venter 5 år på neste flaske (1557 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 8/4/2012: Another Burgundy Duo-Tribut and Courcel (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Most subdued nose of the 3 Tribut wines. Lush, leesy creaminess sets it apart from its mates. This is at least partially due to wood that is evident all the way through to the finish. Less fruit and Chablis typicity than the other 2 wines. In ways this reminded me of the Raveneau style. My least favorite. (2221 views)
 Tasted by zscheiner on 5/22/2012 & rated 90 points: New Arrival Chablis & White Burgs (Vin Vino Wine, Palo Alto, CA): Big lime, lime sherbet nose. Light to medium bodied with medium acidity. Lime, lime zest and white flowers on the palate. Great fruit density with acid lift. (1781 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

Chablis

Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)

2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman

2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
