  Magnum, purchased at auction. Seems like it still has quite some life left in the larger format. My first aged white wine and it was phenomenal: as refreshing as honeysuckle on a hot summer day, though drank in autumn. Taste lingered quite a while (~40 seconds). I will certainly be seeking out more aged white burgundy!

  From magnum.
  Drinking really well right now. Mature, but with no risk of falling over. Remarkable length, with a typical Bongran style (rich, honied profile) but with some nice mature lemon truffle notes. Lots of interest here

  Ripe apple and peach cobbler aromas with similar flavors, but Demi-sec level of sweetness. Very good concentration, good length. No fear of this fading for many years. Great with rich shrimp scampi.

  Popped and poured. Dark golden color that would concern me from almost any other producer in Burgundy, but not Bongran. Weighty and rich, ripe apple and peach with Kabinett level sweetness. This has the energy and dry extract to age effortlessly. Not for everybody's taste, but a wine I really enjoy (with the right rich food).
