Nose: Ripe and peachy. More intense aromatics than you'd expect
Palate: Broad palate with richness and depth. Slight nuttiness. Delicious. (1756 views) | | | Tasted by Goodwine4ever on 11/11/2013 & rated 88 points: Jaune paille,un nez similaire au gewurztraminer,Très floral avec un odeur d'ananas frais,belle fraicheur en bouche,un juste équilibre acidité/alcool,une finale plutôt courte,En général c'est un bon vin mais pour 30$ il y a mieux sur le marché,il manquait le facteur wow ! (2272 views) | | | Tasted by Rubberducky on 2/8/2013 & rated 90 points: Drank a second bottle in less than a month. Wow factor is still there. Will definately add bottles to my inventory shortly. Wine is at a very nice place currently, and for $30, worth every penny. (2596 views) | | | Tasted by Rubberducky on 1/31/2013 & rated 88 points: Very nice discovery! Wife loved it so that's always a winner. Starting to think I should pay more attention to Bruno Clair wines... (2531 views) | | | Tasted by Dids on 1/20/2013 & rated 88 points: In a really good place presently. Balance is the key word with this wine. Light floral hits and white stone fruits in the nose which are very enticing . A bit matchstick on the nose never really goes away. a In the mouth, lemon zest, minerally and touch of peach with a light buttery weight in the mouth and globs of fresh acidity give this wine balance and length, that marks it out to be a damn fine Marsannay white. I love the stuff! (2433 views) | | | Tasted by seb007 on 6/16/2012 & rated 88 points: On sent l'élevage au nez, miel, beurre. La bouche, est grasse, assez longue mais garde malgré tout une belle acidité et un bon équilibre. On détecte une légère touche minéral qui le rend très agréable à boire. Dans la même game de prix, je préfère les Mâcons de Lafon qui sont plus complets à mon sens. Belle bouteille tout de même. (1422 views) | | | Tasted by Headless on 6/9/2012 & rated 87 points: Pear skin, bee's wax and a hint of acacia. On the palate this has nice balance, but it's missing the electricity of the '07. Decent enough drink. (1371 views) | | | Tasted by ashegedyn on 9/6/2011 & rated 85 points: Ok, nice nose with spiciness, a bit of minerality and some slight fruit. Juicy taste a bit bitter, not as smooth on the finish as I would like. Good value nevertheless - 100% better than Cali chard. (1079 views) | | | Tasted by BuzzzzOff on 8/14/2010: Drank at Chez Guy -- Gevrey Chambertin, France. nice, but a bit sour, finish short good nose. (503 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
