| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.2 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Musigny1955 on 7/3/2022 & rated 94 points: Purchased by AM in 1985, brought to Winos Meursault tasting. In same flight as the 2001, darker gold color. Astonishingly lively, complex, rich, and long, not at all over the hill for me. Tasted with smoked salmon, grilled clams, pasta and shrimp salads. Did not fade over 90 minutes. Others preferred the 2001 by an hair. An education in the magical ageability of white Burgundy. (444 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 5/15/2021 & rated 92 points: Served blind to the room, must admit quite unlike expectation. Not overly rich or ripe for Lafon or vintage. Even slightly lean; bottle condition was fine. Lots of acidity here, and a certain richness that put some into the Puligny range. With that said the Meursault character was not too evident. 92 (592 views) | | | Tasted by ATBridge on 5/4/2014 flawed bottle: Oxidized (2140 views) | | | Tasted by Imoollan on 9/14/2013 & rated 96 points: Now this is a giant wine, and a bit of an anecdote, 1982 being the last vintage vinified by the father before he passed the flag to his son. Intense purity of everything. The wine is still extremely present and subtle. Deep golden colour but no age on the colour. Same in the nose, aromas are deliniated and pure, whilst one nows it is a meursault, no deep nuttiness. The characteristic floral charmes aromas and some tropical fruits. Nice taste and long finish. No hurry to drink this one, still an infant... (2549 views) | | | Tasted by rnellans on 3/15/2013 & rated 93 points: Tasted at the Gala dinner La Paulee NYC. Lovely secondary notes mixed with creme brûlée. Still alive on the palate. Love the vintage for whites. (2366 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/9/2013 & rated 91 points: La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (New York, NY): Brief Paulee tasting note. Still quite alive, somewhat more earthy than fruit-centric, but this had a charming ever-so-slightly sweet character. (3313 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
