Much better with food than by itself, as there's still too much wood influence, which creates a certain bitterness in the wine. As with the first bottle 4 years ago, I suspect that letting the remainder of the bottle sit in the fridge for a few days will help. Otherwise, nice apple, citrus, and flower aspects, with a touch of coconut.

Very nice expression, vibrant golden color, pretty nose, very clean and focused with pure just-ripe fruit, some flintiness to it and an odd but refreshing white balsamic tang, nice finish.

Bourgogne and Village Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): This was a lovely little Bourgogne blanc, really punching above its weight. It had a lovely nose with lots of saline, chalky, minerally notes laced though a core of white fruit and some subtle white florals. Nice. The palate was soft, round and creamy, with a simple but yummy white fruited presentation on the attack and midpalate, punctuated with more of that saline minerality and a soupçon of spice on the finish. There was nice balance and delineation when we served it properly chilled, but it did drop a bit and felt a little flatter when the temperature warmed up to room temperature. Nevertheless though, this was very good for a Bourgogne - this was a credit to both its maker and the lovely 2014 white Burg vintage. Drinking well now, especially with food.

Too many weeks ago to remember, but do remember it being beautiful. Still racy but rounded and voluptuous. All for the price of a village bourgogne.
Wish I had more.

Wonderful French burgundy punching way above it's pay grade. Comes from region where merseult is produced and I wouldn't doubt it!
