 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/4/2023 & rated 90 points: Certainly tasty but without the energy of most 2017s- this has lots of orchard fruit for fun enjoyment now, but not the brightness for as much fun going forward. Best now through 2025 or shortly later. (1238 views)
 Tasted by jvphoto on 12/26/2022 flawed bottle: Corked (383 views)
 Tasted by pas.vino on 11/26/2022 & rated 93 points: Wonderful wine! I made a tasting note 2 years ago. The acids have mellowed. It is very delicate and smooth. Really great. A side note…the bottle was decanted an hour before we drank it. The first sip was great from the bottle…it was even better after an hour. (375 views)
 Tasted by jmoore431 on 2/18/2022 & rated 93 points: This wine is in a beautiful place right now; initial blast of clean saline sea air greets at first with lemon and tart apple nose with just hints of oak; really nice palate raises thoughts of a phrase almost unique to reds - “iron fist in a velvet glove”. Mouthfeel and initial impression are round, velvety and full of appealing fruit, beeswax and glycerin. But mid palate lands sensation of gravelly and fruit dry extract, a pop of acidity and a huge, long finish of really appealing balance so well blended that it’s usually found in the best GCs. This is excellent and should be at peak in 7-10 years. 93+ (964 views)
 Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 2/13/2022 & rated 94 points: Green apple, acidity, lemon, lime, finishes with acidity. A (624 views)
 Tasted by mcktuck on 9/18/2021 & rated 93 points: First white Burg I've had where I think I get "it"--why people spend $$ chasing this stuff. Really beautiful wine--delicate aromatics that sing out of the glass with lightly baked yellow apples, flowers, and a hint of baking spices that complements, but never overpowers the fruits. Luxurious mouthfeel and a long, lingering finish.

Only improved on Day 2. It's really good now, but will hold my next bottle 3-5 years. (789 views)
 Tasted by BigBoy_Sonoma on 3/26/2021 & rated 92 points: Granny Smith, herbal notes, pineapple, minerality. A- (842 views)
 Tasted by pas.vino on 11/8/2020 & rated 91 points: The acids need some time to mellow. Too young. Let this wine cellar for a few years. The next day the wine was more enjoyable. A lot of potential. Very nice wine. (1007 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
