 Tasted by Margauxguy on 6/30/2012 & rated 90 points: Nice, lemon tart, citric and getting balanced (1752 views)
 Tasted by Margauxguy on 10/21/2011 & rated 90 points: A well done, nicely balanced puligny. Stylistically, a little tart, lemony, river stone for me right now. May need more time to develop some richness and mouthfeel. (1780 views)
 Tasted by Duncan H on 9/6/2011 & rated 85 points: A bit one-dimensional to be honest. Silver-lemon in colour. Intense citrus/lemon on the nose, with some extra minerality on the very round palate. Immediately attractive, but not hugely complex - initial seemed better than a 2004 Gauby VV blanc, but fell well behind over time, especially when the wines were matched with the starter. Enjoyable, but nothing too serious. I'd drink this now. (1833 views)
 Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 12/16/2006 & rated 92 points: Holiday Lunch w/Saturday Tasting Group (Chez Weiner, Westwood, California): Lemon chiffon and vanilla oak on nose; sweet lemon palate with good body, ripe and juicy; medium finish 92+ pts. (946 views)
 Tasted by Mlermontov on 9/13/2006 & rated 91 points: Martin Scott Wines (Fall 06); 9/11/2006-9/13/2006 (Lincoln Center): mineral and citrusy notes, spicy focused middle. great balance and acid. YUM! (3822 views)
 Tasted by dougsmith on 9/11/2006 & rated 91 points: Martin Scott Wines Portfolio Event (New York City): Light lemon color. Nose of mineral, oak, butter, white fruit and spice; this is clearly young, but there is complexity underneath. Good on the palate but needs time. (3366 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
