Burgundy 2012 Day 3: Lunch at Restaurant l'Alambic (Nuits St-Georges, Burgundy): A good 2009 white - this was a great example of what Rully can produce. It had a very pretty nose, with honeysuckle and white flower scents drifting across notes of cream, lemons and ripe white fruit, with a small touch of smoky minerality bringing up the rear. I thought the palate was extremely well-balanced indeed for a 2009. It certainly had a creamy-textured richness and some of the ripe, forward fruit of the vintage, with shades of apricots and sweet lemons petering out into a grippy, slightly minerally finish. But this was wed to a decent acidity that kept it very so drinkable. A bit of heat distracts ever-so-slightly on the backpalate, but that aside, this was a good wine.

Had a few of these, and always impressed. Perhaps the best entry level 1e cru in white Burgundy, rivals some much more pricey villages.
