Couleur maïs mûr, pas très engageante. Début d’oxydation, noix, marsala, mais le palais est mieux, rond avec de l’acidité. Rebouché et mis au frigo, le vin est mieux le lendemain, surtout au nez avec des arômes de citron confit, de zeste de citron et de kumquat. Palais inchangé. Plutôt agréable pour mon palais mais cette bouteille en a rebuté certains…

Much better than previous bottle. Drinking very nicely but with many years ahead of it. Medium golden. Peaches, mint and some mineral. Very nice balance.

First of five purchased at auction from a restaurant going out of business, so provenance is uncertain. This bottle was fine, showing all of the right characteristics of a premiere cru white Burgundy. Good acidity, long finish, lemon and white flowers. It was comparable to some of the best Puligny Montrachet and Chevalier Montrachet in my history. This was an odd opportunity to buy some pretty special wine at a great price.
Having been burned by premoxed wines from vintages earlier in the decade this seemed like a good bet. If the other four are as good, it will be a pleasure to drink them over the next couple of years.
