 Tasted by Keith Levenberg on 5/9/2014 flawed bottle: Gold/orange color, like a mature Sauternes. Oxidized and DOA. (9805 views)
 Tasted by thomaskeil on 10/7/2007 & rated 86 points: Light golden. Nose has faint minerals, flowers, butter and citrus. Palate has a light touch and doesn't yield much. Is this oxidized? The thought crossed my mind as this seems very light almost empty, but yielded more as it warmed up. Yet there is subtle complexity that extends through to the finish and there is nothing unpleasant at all. The acidity works, but just barely. Ultimately, this took just too much effort to understand and enjoy (it wore me out). (2599 views)
 Tasted by sdr on 9/15/2007 flawed bottle: Drat. Oxidized. Drinkable, but just barely. I should have known from the exceptionally deep gold color. (The food at Marks Mizner Park was just as disappointing, as if it wanted to match the wine.) (2642 views)
 Tasted by sdr on 7/6/2007 & rated 90 points: Dramk up all too cold and too fast at home with grilled chicken with piment d'Espalette rub. It's a pretty good match too, since the golden, thick juicy liquid plays against the light spice flavor. Very Meursault, very 1995, not so much Jobard or Genevrieres. The sheer weight of it impresses, though and there's enough acidity to make it work. (2610 views)
 Tasted by sdr on 5/26/2007 & rated 90 points: Lovely synthesis of '95 lushness and the relative austerity of the F. Jobard style. Light gold. Smells of melted butter, lemon and mixed nuts. Not a lush yeasty powerhouse like a Lafon, but beautifully balanced although not especially long. Very enjoyable in a quiet way. Obviously very different from a bottle consumed a few months ago. (2660 views)
 Tasted by sdr on 1/28/2007: Included in the series of blind tasting of white burgs at the Adelsons. No detailed note, just a recollection that this wine was every bit as massive and luscious as the '95 Lafon Charmes that was included in the same flight. (1476 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
