 Tasted by Sperls on 3/22/2024 & rated 92 points: Similar notes to recent bottle. Very bright and fresh. Touch of oak is well integrated. Excellent finish. (126 views)
 Tasted by Sperls on 3/13/2024 & rated 92 points: Drinking really well. Nice bright fruit, citrus, touch of wood. The age really helps. Great on second day too. (137 views)
 Tasted by decaturwinedude on 9/28/2022 & rated 91 points: Impressive. Pretty floral and herbal nose. Slight hints of vanilla. You get the sense of minerality and a clean integrated palate. Scratches the white Burg itch at a very attractive price point. Very nice showing. Absolutely crushable. Thanks, Steve! (1187 views)
 Tasted by Enworb on 6/18/2022 flawed bottle: Two bottles opened in the past three days. Bottle 1 on Thursday was faulty with a resinous taste. Cork? Bottle 2 today and was corked. Bad luck as the four bottles we opened through last year were delicious (952 views)
 Tasted by wayfarer on 3/12/2022 & rated 92 points: Really enjoyable. Lovely nose and palate, moderate to full body with good length. Citrus, lemon, softer stone fruit, mineral, lightest hint of vanilla, with great acid balance and clean finish. Well done. (1033 views)
 Tasted by angryphoton on 3/10/2021 flawed bottle: corked (1542 views)
 Tasted by Bakerbd on 12/11/2020 & rated 91 points: Citrus oil, med body, flinty, orchard fruit, excellent QPR (1561 views)
 Tasted by Aris1a on 8/14/2020 & rated 92 points: In agreement with Goodbread’s note, though not as sanguine score-wise. Clean, balanced, fruit driven, not overoaked, pronounced citrus with good acidity to balance. Some residual spices in the mode palate. Very nice. (1408 views)
 Tasted by Goodbread on 5/31/2020 & rated 93 points: Wonderful nose with citrus, fruit. Lively and elevated with some secondary fruit but what grabs you is its luscious body and a mineral flourish. We were impressed! Great clean, dry but oily finish. Med+ body and acidity. (1437 views)
 Tasted by buymoreredsdrinkmorewhites on 2/9/2020: Beautiful '17 white burg. nice balance not to fat, not to lean. Agree with what others have said about this wine. (1368 views)
 Tasted by cjsadler on 11/20/2019 & rated 91 points: Wow. I’d heard the 2017 white Burgs were great, and this demonstrates it big time. For a white Mercurey, this is probably as good as it ever gets. (1146 views)
 Tasted by Pinot_Geek on 9/28/2019 & rated 92 points: Lemon; Quenching-stony. Bit of that pineapple and coconut I like in white Burgs. Like Simone Biles, walking a perfect balance beam between lean and tart expressions and more voluptuous rich styles (I’m talkin’ to you 2015). A fine glass and excellent value, this went over big with my tasting group (experienced and deep-pocketed Burgundophiles all).Well worth a try-may well be our new house white. (1116 views)
 Tasted by RajivAyyangar on 2/22/2019 & rated 87 points: Flatiron - burgundy event (Flatiron, SF): Noble reduction! (509 views)

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
