Surprised by this one. Much more straw than I was anticipating. Fresh and crisp chardonnay with gentle tartness and a rich body with honey sweet cream.

Tasted it during La Paulee Singapore organised by Vintage. Was introduced by one of the participants who is kind to share with us. Notes of lemon, mineral, buttery.

Thought I'd kill the last bottle of these...little worried after seeing the 09 assessment tasting last month. The most tropical and creamed with butter to date...not poxed, but showing a little more honeyed notes than last bottle couple years ago? Some reduction smoked vanilla bean, sautéed apple, citrus infused oil...an opulent wine, but does have sneaky cut of fresh lemon/grapefruit acidity, as well as a pepper spice kick. Crushed minerals giving up some exotics...pretty peach blossom florals. Well...Seems to be aging at a faster pace than it should, but still at this stage a nice drink. Definitely more opulent and tropical than the Puligny's. I think this is my last 09 white burg...which is fine with me.

Akatora: Normally I am a fan of reduction in White Burg, but this was over-the-top and almost completely obscured the wine; volatile and fumey, very round and a bit fat lower acidity didn't help. Really not that unpleasant, but a little bizarre.
