  Much better with food than by itself, as there's still too much wood influence, which creates a certain bitterness in the wine. As with the first bottle 4 years ago, I suspect that letting the remainder of the bottle sit in the fridge for a few days will help. Otherwise, nice apple, citrus, and flower aspects, with a touch of coconut.

  Too many weeks ago to remember, but do remember it being beautiful. Still racy but rounded and voluptuous. All for the price of a village bourgogne.
  
  Wish I had more.

  Wonderful French burgundy punching way above it's pay grade. Comes from region where merseult is produced and I wouldn't doubt it!

  Very nice expression, vibrant golden color, pretty nose, very clean and focused with pure just-ripe fruit, some flintiness to it and an odd but refreshing white balsamic tang, nice finish.

  Bourgogne and Village Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): This was a lovely little Bourgogne blanc, really punching above its weight. It had a lovely nose with lots of saline, chalky, minerally notes laced though a core of white fruit and some subtle white florals. Nice. The palate was soft, round and creamy, with a simple but yummy white fruited presentation on the attack and midpalate, punctuated with more of that saline minerality and a soupçon of spice on the finish. There was nice balance and delineation when we served it properly chilled, but it did drop a bit and felt a little flatter when the temperature warmed up to room temperature. Nevertheless though, this was very good for a Bourgogne - this was a credit to both its maker and the lovely 2014 white Burg vintage. Drinking well now, especially with food.
