| Community Tasting Notes (average 95.8 pts. and median of 96 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by WineBurrowingWombat on 4/13/2024 & rated 96 points: Eyes Wide Shut - Day 1 (A quiet place): Nose: Round pears with a clean freshness and gentle ripeness, something like fruited honey and dried hay.
Palate: There's some freshness here but somehow with swift and a bit more acidity to show on the palate, giving a nice juiciness. Both dry with a subtle ripeness as well. Minerality on the palate leaves a slight prickliness on the finish.
Hoping a handful of years can allow any kind of "roundness" on the palate to soften and integrate a bit, allowing the freshness to pop more. Fingers crossed.

(145 views) | | | Tasted by MN Wine Junkie on 4/13/2024 & rated 96 points: The Blind Side - no, not football! (Chateau Simms): This was opened for about an hour prior to tasting.
It was in a line up of Chardonnays served blind (including some Burgundies):
1. 2013 Marcassin
2. 2019 Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère
3. 2018 Kongsgaard Chardonnay The Judge
4. 2021 Faiveley Bâtard-Montrachet
5. 2022 Walter Scott Chardonnay X-Novo Vineyard
6. 2020 Henri Boillot Corton-Charlemagne
2021 Faively Batard-Montrachet - Once again pretty easy to pick out as a Burgundy due to the higher acidity and minerality. This wine showed lots of citrus, tart green apple and some tropical fruit notes, coupled with limestone and oyster. Painfully young but still quite delicious! Would love to taste this 5 to 10 years down the road! Still, 95+ to 96 today!

Very refined palate, finely layered pure yellow fruit, fresh, pure and beautifully detailed, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long pure sweet yellow fruit driven finish with a hint of coconut at the end. This seems readier than the other whites, already showing beautiful complexity. (2317 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy 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
