Cleaned out all my '17 in one fell staff seminar! Some did not like it, and I can kinda understand why - it wasn't as fresh as it could be, and also had an exotic note to it. However, with air, it really came up and found itself. It could go longer (but give it some air on opening) but I don't think there is much need.

Last bottle of a case. Pale lemon. Lemon peel, nectarine nose. Quite high acid, medium bodied, lime, asparagus palate. Still drinking well and I’m sure has another 2/3 years of enjoyable drinking. Shame it’s the final bottle.

Top quality b. blanc; spicy, somewhat rustiv, broad, yet quite precise with very good acidity. Seems open for business, no need to keep this. #Kandestederne

Pale golden yellow’ish color. Medium plus body, medium alcohol. Grapefruit, lemons, oranges, flowers, minerals on the nose. All confirmed on the palate. Nice zesty acidity followed by decent minerality. Though not sure this meets Puligny Montrachet bar!

Enjoyable basic BB. Nose of apple, maybe some tropical notes and a little bit of oak. Medium rich palate with lemon, tart finish with some nice med+ zingy notes. Not the dryest and most pure of white burgs but a good clear chardonnay, very drinkable.

There's like a canned fruit cocktail(especially the cherry) tropical sweetness in there? Last of six bottles...not looking to reload on these, just too many other BB's out there that taste more white burg correct.

Bright gold color. Nice richness with hazelnuts. Fruit is fresh and zingy. I had the ‘12 La Piece Sous le Bois from Pernot a few weeks ago and the overall style is dead on consistent.

At least at this stage, the nose isn't particularly giving. Of two bottles opened, one had an appealing wooly, lemon inflected palate but the other was rather plain.

P: M body; RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish oak/frt balanced by fairly crisp acidity which fairly seamlessly morphs into a LONG, VERY slightly bitterish finish which, IF it resolves, will make my VG/VG+ low, particularly with respect to value. [This vendor's $22.95 is $1 < wine-searcher's lowest.]

This is a really well made burgundy , i had it in Zalto Burgundy and Zalto Universal. In the burgundy glass the wine gets more bold in its character , where in the universal glass its in my opinion much better balanced. A nice wine.

Pale yellow, light-bodied, crisply acidic and with an abundance of clean flavors for a basic Bourgogne, this is a "go-to" Chardonnay for many occasions. Aromas and flavors of stone fruits, white flowers, lemon verbena and dried herbs are a prelude to similar flavors, supported by fresh acidity, unnoticeable alcohol (13%) and minimal (if any) wood. The middle palate is solid and the finish concludes with attractive mineral notes. While not at the level of Pernot's more prestigious bottlings, this is beyond respectable. Drink now-2023.

I just love the nose on this: cool menthol, green grass and herbs, mint, lemon, white flowers, green apple, stones, brown spices, white and black pepper. It’s cool and vivid and spicy and full of flavors. This came out of the fridge and the palate is bitter and finish is clipped but as it warms up it improves. Well, it did during dinner. Now a few hours later another glass isn’t pulling the same trick. Will try again tomorrow. Oh well.
Not better the next day. The nose was never as good as when the wine was popped and I never saw the return of that little glimmer of the palate showing something like the nose.

Good glass of white Burgundy. A fat and creamy nose of butter, a little smoke and hints of hazelnuts - probably caused by the aging in oak barrels. The taste is round and pleasant. Even though this wine lacks a little complexity, the taste is still rather nice with fresh fruity palate of citrus. The finish is medium and all in all I like this wine - I just think it's too expensive...

As a barrel sample. Only one this year. With some sulfur notes on it. 17 a little bit more straight on the fruit profile and lots of co2 in it right now. Which maybe is that salt and pepper taste.

On the nose I get green apple, fresh aromatic wine and on the palate herbs, honey at the end.
I had it with crab service and was really good.

Under the Bourgogne Cote d'Or appellation now. And this is the long-aged Cuvee of the wine.
Supremely elegant, lots of depth, and seems very young. A bit quiet right now, will be interesting to see where it goes!

100 % CH from plots in Puligny-Montrachet close to Meursault. Used oak primarily.
Nose: A little restricted on the nose with aromas of citrus, smoke, flint, pear, and a little bit of hazelnut.
Palate: Not that complex but a nice en fresh palate with citrus, butter biscuit, and pear - medium body and medium+ acidity.
Great QPR!
