 Tasted by chugwine on 9/17/2023 & rated 96 points: This is top ten bottle of white wine I have had in my wine journey. The definition of why Burgundy is king. 33 years old and this bottle was still singing. Acidity on the front end with the balanced mouthfeel that leaves you just dying for more. We were nervous about the quality with the pre-ox issues in Burgundy, and this one held up to the test, in a true mistress style of Burgundy! We had the pleasure of bringing this with us to Single Thread in Healdsburg and it ended up being the wine of the night, if that says anything. (164 views)
 Tasted by liber on 10/11/2018 & rated 96 points: Last of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, previous bottles drunk between 99 and 09 fine or better and latterly very fine - light yellow, unctuous; spellbinding bouquet, rich honeysuckle, pear, lemon, chalky minerality; medium/full, long, very persistent and concentrated, oily, grand cru weight and complexity, sweetish and weighty mid palate, but dry on exit with perfect acidity to bring balance, plenty of life and energy, deeply impressive. VF+ (19)…….best bottle at 28! (715 views)
 Tasted by acyso on 10/29/2016 & rated 93 points: Dinner at Recess (Indianapolis, IN): It's a sad reminder of an age gone by, when white Burgundy could be aged like this (I had a bit of a soliloquy about how modern white Burgundy will likely not age like this). A little bit of cream on the palate, as well as tons of fleshy fruit. Very rich and full-bodied, but then with air, this does seem to feel a little bit flabby, with a touch of caramel at the back end. (2023 views)
 Tasted by salil on 10/29/2016 & rated 93 points: Beautiful wine - very plush and ripe on the palate with layers of rich pear and white fruited flavours, accented by vanilla cream, herbs, and faint roasted hazelnut notes. The palate presence is remarkable - round and polished with an almost glossy texture, but never feeling heavy or out of balance. Between this and the Roulot the previous night, I think I need to drink more white Burg. (Wallet: :( ) (1388 views)
 Tasted by ATBridge on 10/29/2016: Same bottle as Adrian and Salil. Beautiful color. Nice mature notes on the nose. Initially a little tight, but really quite giving with just a little swirling. Has a roundness I associate with Folatieres without being fat, however with prolonged tim in the glass it did become a bit flabby--a bit surprising to me as the acid was so well balanced earlier.

 Tasted by drwine2001 on 11/16/2011: Light golden. Honeyed with faint florality. Full bodied, lush with some remaining citrus. On its last leg. (1816 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
