  Wonderful richness for Bourgogne, this combines wine from 2009-2011. and is still showing nicely fresh orchard fruit.

  Once again seems to be deepening more as time marches on - and not in a bad way. Medium intensity gold color now and medium + intensity on the nose. Tropical fruits of lyche and pineapple along with apricot. Secondary sweet vanilla is there, and even some tertiary honey notes perhaps. On the palate is medium + sweet, with medium acidity to balance. Also medium in body and alcohol, and with a fairly intense viscous mouth few. Long finish. A bit like my last tasting note, just more so - in that it reminds me in the mouth of a buttery Cali Chard, but the nose is more subtle and interesting. When I first tried this 4 years ago I was a little disappointed considering the famous producer. Now I am more balanced. A nice and interesting wine that will pair very well with the right dish. Not kicking myself I didn’t load up, but happy that I went for a case when it first was on offer. Certainly an example of how even entry level Bourgogne whites have a long life and need time to show their best.

  Has moved on some more since I last tried it. Half way between straw and golden in hue. Sweat vanilla and buttery mouth feel. Now drinking almost like a classic Cali Chard, but with a little more finesse. Definitely an easy and approachable Burg white, and thanks to some aging it's is n a very easy to drink place right now. Not sure how much longer it will stay in this position. Maybe worth drinking up in the next year or two.

  Fine Vines Burgundy Tasting (Vin Chicago - Highland Park IL): Tasting, brief note. Bottle showed some signs of prior leakage, and the wine tasted more tired/ advanced than previous bottles.

  Orchard fruit throughout with good weight and length for its level. Overall good balance and good amount of nuance for Bourgogne level wine, especially that NV Burgundy oddity.
