I thought this wine didn't have that special quality I get with Puligny-Montrachet. This might be an age thing - the wine was almost Amber in colour, and the predominant aromas were to do with the oak. Hard to really get much else, but I admit the the oak was luscious. In the end it kept improving as the evening went on, and I enjoyed it a lot. Just wasn't quite what I had expected. Certainly drink up if you've got any left!

Light yellow. Delicious nose of shy but racy yellow fruit, nuts, butter and minerals. In the mouth this is pointed, yet complex and very delicious. Much more focused than the fat and seducing 2005.

White Burgundy (FOF): Nice golden color. Nice fruit on the nose, mirabelles, yellow plums and some wine gum. Nice complexity and nuances on the palate, still dominated by the yellow fruit but some nuts and mushroom are apparent. Nice balance and good length. Drinking really well now, but definitely has the potential for even more.

Frankly disappointing; may be going through a difficult stage as the wine seemed to have closed down. The fruit very much in recess and little length on the finish

This wine is pure, with plenty of mineral and chalk. Some grapefruit on the nose and the taste. As nice a white burgundy as I've had.
