White Burgundy theme at Min Jiang: Brought for a friend. Rich, old-school white Burgundy that was too heavy-handed and exotic for me. Dominant honey, nutty and apricot notes, showed the heat of 2009. Would drink these up as this was before Jadot switched to DIAM.

Tasted blind; thought this to be Grand Cru as it seems to lack for nothing at the moment. Would guessed it to be from 2014 or 2010, as there is classic but not aggressive acidity intact. High-toned lemon citrus with deep apple, honeyed white blossoms/floral suggestions, etc. with a note of petrol on the nose with air time. This just gets better and better. No rush! I”m told the malo was inhibited (partially?) in 2009 chez Jadot. Great showing. Good buoyancy and mineral expression even in this ripe vintage.

This was a big surprise, served blind to three others: my surprise was how well this showed after being totally unimpressed with this on two occasions five years ago. Did not expect this to age well! Full yellow color, nose and palate of ripe apple, honey with a lemon top note; rich and ripe but no flab here as the ample acidity seemed to pull it all together. Everyone else’s surprise? That it wasn’t a gran cru!

Tasted next to Leflaive’s 2013 Les Folatieres. Much more generous, buttery with ripe stone fruit, spices on the nose. Fresher on the palate, not as complex in comparison, but well balanced with good length. 89-91
