 Tasted by Wino from Michigan on 12/20/2022 & rated 94 points: Great -- crisp (had with grilled shrimp and risotto) and vibrant. Really good -- loved it. (1334 views)
 Tasted by Wine Canuck on 4/23/2022 & rated 94 points: This pours light straw in the glass with a faint flecks of green. The nose is lifted and complex from the first pour though it does open up and round out with further air. The nose is of vanilla custard, lemon juice, mint, honeydew melon, a touch of struck flint, cold cream, and ripe kiwi. Just fabulous stuff. The palate is wonderful with a rich custardy entry but a finish that is very precise with medium plus acid and a lengthy finish replaying much of the nose. Love this. (2486 views)
 Tasted by pavel_p on 2/18/2022 & rated 93 points: Was a bit skeptical given the not very favorable vintage and all the mediocre 2016 Chablis I have had so far, but in the end bought a case recently at a nice price. First bottle. Pnp. Pale yellow. Great showing as this displays already a beautiful balance, good freshness and minerality, a finely textured palate, a touch of sweetness and harmonious finish.
Its all already nicely integrated but will for sure drink well for quite a while. Highly recommended. (1983 views)
 Tasted by Casa HeRo on 12/12/2021 & rated 93 points: Sitrus, fersken, smør og mineraler i nesa. Sitrus, grønne epler, fersken med en kjøttfull frukt i munnen. Nydelig syre/sødme balanse gjennom hele munnen. Veldig god til pannestekt laks og Sandefjordsaus. Må prøves til hvis fisk også, gjerne kveite. (1637 views)
 Tasted by Musigny1955 on 12/12/2021 & rated 93 points: {1 of 3, PopNPour, consumed over 3 hours. Diam cork.} Pale yellow. Beautiful citrus and acacia flower nose and flavors, good size and weight, superb length, lots of stoniness, still a bit tight. Tasted next morning and the complexity had upped a notch, so scored 93 not 92. Tastes as good or better at room temperature as at chilled temperature. Will give my other bottles a few more years, no rush to consume. Lovely, lovely wine. (2086 views)
 Tasted by cubswinws on 2/10/2021 & rated 94 points: Crisp and precise yet with great sophistication. Real class! (2590 views)
 Tasted by Vince_chip on 11/17/2020 & rated 94 points: Clairement dans une classe à part. Excellent avec une densité de saveur incroyable et une texture bien enveloppante. Bien équilibré du début à la fin, avec des amers et une acidité super bien intégrées.
Super ! (2150 views)
 Tasted by nic.fcn on 11/12/2020 & rated 93 points: Took a few minutes to open up. Then became marvelous. (1704 views)
 Tasted by nmichaud1 on 5/2/2020: Ouvert 3h d'avance et carafé pendant 30 minutes. Évidemment c'est encore très jeune, mais je voulais accompagner un bon Risotto au homard. Nez assez discret sur les poires et pommes vertes avec une certaine touche minéral. En bouche l'attaque est assez vive, mais avec une belle substance et beaucoup d'énergie. La finale est tout de même assez longue en bouche. Clairement le vin mérite plusieurs années en cave afin de développer plus de complexité, mais j'ai réussi à l'apprécier durant la soirée malgré sa jeunesse. Très bien! (2181 views)
 Tasted by dbg on 11/28/2019: Light yellow/gold. Lemon and stoney, minerally, mouth-watering umami with a bit of oak on the nose. Medium body, nice tension between the zesty fruit and acidity, flavors follow the nose. Medium finish. An excellent young Meursault but too young for any complexity. Finished with a Diam cork so maybe it will get there with little risk of premox, but I’m no longer gambling on aged white Burgs. (2473 views)
 Tasted by dbg on 9/13/2019: Excellent. (1914 views)
 Tasted by dbg on 8/30/2019: Stone fruits, medium body, minerally acidity, nice balance, ripe fruit, medium finish, excellent. (1810 views)
 Tasted by dbg on 7/30/2019: Stone fruits, medium body, minerally acidity, nice balance, ripe fruit and a bit richer than I expected for a young Meursault, medium finish, excellent. (1813 views)
 Tasted by Alexander Smith on 5/13/2019 & rated 94 points: Much preferred this to the Genevrieres, a lot more stony with gripping minerality, flinty, tight and you feel you are on the edge of your seat the tension is killing you. There is stone fruit on the palate also and layers of it as well. Peach, nectarine, ripe and warm 93-94 (1951 views)
 Tasted by CamWheeler on 12/21/2018 & rated 93 points: Beat your 2018 WOTY Dinner: Blind. Soap, mint, light oak and peach with pears. Good rich fruit profile, young and stylish. Good cut through with mineral acidity tempering the fruit sweetness. Lovely drinking now and certainly into the future. (1856 views)
 Tasted by The Guzz on 11/23/2018 & rated 91 points: Wow minerality. Intense airy nose of mixed white fruit, lemon/lime and floral elements. A bit disparate on the palate with lots of Chablis stones and acid. I don't want to say unbalanced but the acid is currently intense. Very good length but young and tight.

Unsolicited- The new Bouchard labels are a bit weak IMHO.. (1519 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
