 Tasted by clutj on 4/1/2021 & rated 90 points: Very good (533 views)
 Tasted by Woodbridge Brad on 9/25/2020 & rated 87 points: Again a creased cork, cooking chicken risotto, some for the chef some for the rice. Slightly bronze but still pretty nice. The rest in the cellar are are quite intact, no sign of ullage or leakage good color but consumption soon. (526 views)
 Tasted by timandpat on 7/26/2020 flawed bottle: Bad bottle. Apparently we bought sherry. (496 views)
 Tasted by Woodbridge Brad on 5/11/2020 & rated 88 points: Someone else noted some bottle variation, and I did with this bottle, still quite pleasant but slightly more oxidized/developed than it should be at this point. I examined the cork and there is a slight crease that would explain it. Looks like dull corker jaws pinching the cork. This creates a channel for air. Time to drink them up. Probably a three head corker so expect every third bottle to be at risk. That said it was still a drinkable wine last night and there were three winemakers having it. (589 views)
 Tasted by ItsNotMe on 9/12/2019: Bottle variation. Not flawed, but certainly not the best showing for this wine. I simply lacked anything special tonight. (828 views)
 Tasted by chifred on 9/1/2019 & rated 90 points: PnP, 55F. Light medium yellow, hint if green. Nice nose with fruit and green and musk. Medium wt, stone, citrus, peach, pear; decent not huge acid, long finish. Nice, more complex and interesting than I would have thought at this price point. (547 views)
 Tasted by Woodbridge Brad on 4/4/2019 & rated 91 points: A stunning value at a $17 price point with all the citrus, butter, flesh and balanced linger you could want. Classic Macon at a great price. (784 views)
 Tasted by ItsNotMe on 3/15/2019: A great wine at this price point. Initially a bit muted on the nose, but this wine comes out the longer it’s in the glass. Nice balance, but I was unable to discern multiple distinct flavors. Maybe some green apple, but very subtle. Definitely some stone on the finish. (637 views)
 Tasted by GregB57 on 1/20/2019 & rated 89 points: Nicely balanced with medium acidity. Flavors of pear. Good value at $16. (694 views)
 Tasted by ItsNotMe on 1/13/2019: Somewhat muted on the nose, but some pear. Pear mid-palate. Wife picked up almond. Good QPR. (523 views)
 Tasted by pennjr on 12/16/2018 & rated 92 points: Really enjoyed this!! (622 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
