This bottle tasted worlds better than the one I opened less that a year ago - good acidity, interesting edginess, engaging textural and aromatic qualities. From memory, no detailed notes, but I would say this is much more in line with what I'd expect from a botte with Corton on its label (and no Aloxe). Last botte for me.

Interesting but not exciting - nor especially noteworthy. Not flawed, not bad, but not terribly good and not distinctive in any special way. In the white Burgundy department, I'd just as soon drink a good Montee de Tonnerre.

Gotten better since 2018. Light yellow, still very reserved. Flavors of white flowers and lime with a light lanolin body. Almost has tannins on the finish. Needs decanting and should be served at cellar temperature to show its best. No hurry. Not a big broad wine, but cool and restrained. Very good.

Still in same place as my note a year ago. Light yellow. Wax, white flowers, a bit of peach but no secondary development at this point. Crisp, citrus and can clearly get better but needs several years at least. Good but give it time. I should have waited but some other notes gave me some concern. No need to worry. This will get better with a couple years.

Popped and poured, and it was gone in less than 30 minutes. Tasty and rich.
