MNB: White Burgundy (Home (Noe st)): (blind) Medium minus yellow color. Nose has a weird cauliflower note - strangely vegetal. Slightly reductive, super low-ripeness lemon. On the palate, some toasted fresh wood - feels around 15% new French oak, 12.5% alcohol, weird green lemon midpalate, high acid - feels a bit tart/malic on the finish.
Final call: 2016 chablis 1er cru - low quality. Actually: 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Les Charmes - Alain Chavy
Analysis - I'm not far off here. Cooler year, warmer appellation.

Extremely heavy minerals. Not much fruit at all. Not sure if this supposed to be the style or if the wine is in a weird phase or if I just don't like it

disappointed by this wine. nose was kind of flat and seemed petrol like. flavours on the palate were also muted and the finish was almost non existent. only drank half the btl, will revisit the next day to see if there is improvement
