Aromatically a bit challenged, not much comes through at all. Crisp initial attack with baked apple and citrus notes, some butter and oakiness is apparent, good acidity but too hot on the back end, even well-chilled. Off balance, at 14.5% this has too much alcohol and not enough fruit. I expected better of a Burgundy sourced so close to Puligny-Montrachet. Not a *bad* wine, but honestly it's a disappointment. I can get a lot like this and better for less than the $16 this bottle cost us.

Not a whole lot going on, but pleasant enough.
