 Tasted by DougLee on 2/29/2020 flawed bottle: Premox (986 views)
 Tasted by Perrieres on 11/15/2018: Big wine...94 points..orange melon on nose...power with lots of fruit and great spine of minerality (1189 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 9/5/2018 & rated 88 points: Chardonnay Shootout: Burgundy vs New World, Double Blind (Booth One - Chicago IL): Double blind in Chardonnay New World vs Old World shootout. Another odd bottle. Clearly very ripe, seemingly not quite integrated. Rich start through middle, but a short finish that almost seemed bitter. (2243 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 5/17/2018 & rated 90 points: Casual (Mostly) Burg Dinner with Friends (Inovasi - Lake Bluff IL): Ripe and rich with lots of stone fruit and a hint of honeycomb. Very good concentration, good length and just slightly finessed. Like many 2012s, I expect this best to drink young while fresh, given its moderate structure. (1873 views)
 Tasted by roberta_abbate on 11/13/2016 & rated 89 points: Good Wine (1711 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 5/31/2016: Chardonnay Shootout (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Tasted blind in young Chardonnay flight. A very odd wine, quite possibly slightly off. Dark color for its youth. Ripe fruit that was tasty enough, with a fresh herb character that some others at the tasting found to be weed-like. A slightly herbaceous, bitter finish. I'd think this 86-87 points tonight, but don't think it a correct bottle. (1884 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
