Burgundy 2011 Day 4: The Big Dinner aka Singapore Night in Burgundy (Baubigny): Excellent. Lovely mineral and chalk aromas on the nose were accompanied by floral accents along with white fruit and apple scents. The palate had good concentration but also lots of finesse and poise, with fine chalky mineral, lemons, apples all very pure. This wine was certainly weighty, but somehow managed to pull of the trick of seeming weightless with its fresh, effortless elegance. It wafted along into a long, defined finish which showed the linearity and focus and the same incredible balance that marked the rest of the wine. This was really lovely stuff, and still very young - I can only see it getting better and better over the next 4-5 years.

Honey flowers on the nose. Rich rounded fruit. Weighty and slightly buttery. Very nice and fat and roasted caramel.

WES Burgundy Tour (La Chablisienne): Brilliant honey and wax nose
Wonderful in the mouth and it's still developing.
