This grew on me over three days. Best on the third, expectedly for a young premier cru Burgundy, I suppose. A bit faint with lots of soap upon entry, but smoothed out its rough edges, particularly after 48 hours in cold storage. Good nose, round and rich oak, but not overwhelming, and mellowed out to balance the fruit as the wine went forward. A bit hot leaving the palate, but a very good value Burgundy. 88-89 points.

So drinking this one from a Zalto glass - too detailed. I get the nice saline nose, but I also get a bit of oak now. Only perceptible with this glass. on taste nice roundness and good finish - but now I see a flaw. Maybe ignorance was better. Still a great value Burgundy though.

Westchester Wine School Premium Burgundy Tasting (Mamaroneck, NY): Drank blind at WWS tasting vs., of all things, a 2005 Batard Bienvenues from Remoissent. Each bottle was easy to identify, needless to say. The Montagny showed a pale straw color. Shy nose not revealing much. Sweet fruit, good acidity level, some oakiness detected on the fairly short finish. A pleasant, if somewhat simple wine which was matched against the best white of our tasting. Still, on its own, this was a very enjoyable bottle with a nice balance of ripe fruit, good acidity and fair amount of complexity for what it was.
