Scintillatingly good white Burgundy wine. JM was previously the winemaker for Olivier LeFlaive. In my experience, white burgundy needs more time to breath and should be served above 50F. You’ll be rewarded with the creamy and buttery flavor so well-regarded from the #appellation. #93pts

Liked this one a lot. This showed traces of oak that seemed to be well-absorbed. Good, clean, clear palate. Shows good acidity and cut. I know Boillot to be pretty heavy on the oak, but not here. Nice acids, too. Thanks David. Racines with Sarah and the Sugarmen.

Nice mineral nuances, but showing more narrow on the palate than I recall previously, the nose being sufficiently pungent in its austerity to hit those white burg happy places.

Last had on 8/25/12, but last notes were on 1/21/12. The lemon attributes and firms acids are still there. There is quite a bit of life left in this wine (based on this bottle at least) but given the subdued fruit profile I would not go beyond another year or so. Still a solid 90 pointer on this last bottle. This paired well with Panko Tilapia.

Perfectly aged. Great medium body. Low alc. Very burgundy. Fruit is starting to fade. Mostly stone and lemon left. I wish CA could do this more often.
