  Lightly honeyed nose, soft palate, mineral finish, a bit Chablis-like

  good solid Bourgogne, although has distinct Chablis like sensibilities in terms of minerality and acidity. a good buy at the price.

  2011 Verget Bourgogne Blanc Terroirs de Cote d'Or. 12.5% abv. Robin Garr reviewed the 2005 vintage of this on another forum and said half of the blend is aged in used oak barrels and half in stainless steel. That answers one question for me because it didn't exhibit obvious oak. The grapes are from parcels in the villages of Puligny and Meursault. I paired this with a casserole of chicken thighs cooked and shredded, broccoli and herb dressing as the main ingredients on the first evening. The second evening I had it with Quiche Lorraine. Perhaps a Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc or an Austrian Gruner Veltliner would have been a better pairing for the chicken and broccoli dish. The quiche pairing, OTOH, was a booming success. The Chardonnay danced nicely with the eggy custard of the quiche and was in step with the bacon and onion quiche ingredients.
  Pale in color and transparent, the wine greets the nose with lemon and white floral notes (lemon blossom?) The nose and palate also exhibit apple notes. The second evening it seemed more appley and less lemony. This is an inviting sipping wine and food-friendly lunch or dinner wine. Drinking well now. 88-90 points

  Tastes kind of like if Schlossgut Diel made a white Burgundy. This has pure yellow Chardonnay fruit with glow-in-the-dark vibrancy and Chablis-like definition, with material that's gelatinously rich. Extremely impressive for a basic Bourgogne - at this level, it's rare to find this kind of precision and purity with so much substance, or perhaps one should say it the other way around, it's rare to find something with so much substance with this kind of precision and purity. Under screwcap.
