  Retail $45. 100% Chardonnay. Based on my notes, my wife bought this wine shortly after we moved to Houston and all of our wine was in cold storage until our house was built and the cellar was finished. Somehow, some way, this wine survived until now. And, on the eve of Father's Day, I decided to pop it since, well, Father's Day Eve (for all of the fathers out there I am seriously trying to make this a thing). I was also terrified about "premox" or premature oxidation--a malady that strikes far too many white Burgundies and has decimated my own white Burg "collection." Well, no worries here, light straw in color, lovely aroma of lemon curd, white peach, and a touch of white pepper. On the palate? Whoa. Delicate fruit, gripping tanginess, layers of flavor, and a bit of spice, particularly on the lengthy finish. This is the first white Burgundy I have had in a while and it is particularly fantastic.

  Pale yellow. Lemon comingled with anise-heavy spice blend on the nose. Nice midpalate density leads to a lingering finish of spicy citrus. The Beaune du Château surpassed my expectations.

  Clean, attractive nose. Sweetish feel, clean, butter. Good! 100% barrel ferment, no new oak. Four climats.
