Just magnificent. Perfect balance of rich pithy fruit and a lifted refreshing acidity. Nose is full of fruit and flowers. Subliminal palate, long and inviting. I’m glad I have a few bottles left. This guy produces awesome white Burgs.

30 minutes of air. Deep golden yellow. Oak nicely integrated. It has a stony, slightly pithy bouquet with fresh pear and lime flower notes. A light bitterness rounds off the pleasant finish

The second time for me with this wine, and my enthusiasm remains unabated. Beautiful lifted nose - great clarity. Taste of wild lemon and something sweeter: pear perhaps. But it is all about texture and the quality of the winemaking. There is a beautiful balance of fruit and acidity, which speaks of a determined position on what white Burgundy should be. Bravo Philippe!

This is a truly lovely wine, elegant, well balanced and with great purity of fruit. Perfectly clear light lemon colour, it rises on the nose to a clean lift of green banana, paw-paw. Excellent mouthfeel, perhaps a little too full on the palate to start with (but this is in keeping with its generic origins), but gains in acidity as it receives exposure to air., and with that acidity a wonderful balance of textures and flavours. Great winemaking. Well done Philippe Colin!

Burgundy WIMPS, 24 May 2019 - Les Berthom table (La Trompette): The deep golden yellow colour and overtly oaky nose immediately give the impression that this is going to be a relatively opulent wine. Oak still evident on the palate, but again in a good, chewy, way. A nice balance between ripe fruit, acidity and viscosity. Quintessential white Burg, and a good match for the rich dish it was served with.
