 Tasted by PC73 on 6/18/2023: Slightly advanced.
Initially a bit flabby on the palate. Hint of caramel on the nose. But not enough that I would have sent it back if ordered from the mist.
Went through a bit of a rollercoaster over the evening with glimpses of real enjoyment and quality. But then bit flat.
Poor bottle that ended up bringing a knife to a gun fight. (511 views)
 Tasted by rlove on 3/17/2023 & rated 93 points: A fine layer of matchstick reduction integrates nicely with peach and white flower aromas. Vibrant with bright acidity, crazy structure for eleven years of age, but so rich and open with its floral and mineral flavors. Great stuff. (668 views)
 Tasted by sdr on 3/13/2023 & rated 94 points: This is really interesting. The ephemeral white flower, peach and agrume fragrance leads you to believe it will be a filigree delicate wine. On the palate though it is very viscous and powerful. Doesn’t fade a bit over a couple of hours. A broad wine as befits the solar vintage yet undeniably impressive. Based on the flavor profile probably best to drink soon. (673 views)
 Tasted by dcwino on 6/25/2017 & rated 94 points: Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): Expressive nose displaying succulent ripe yellow and white fruits, lemon curd, pear, freshly grated apple, a hint of yellow peach, rose, white pepper and mineral. Excellent concentration, sweet succulent yellow fruit driven palate impression, bright acidity, strong mineral presence and a lovely long sweet citrus fruit driven finish. As usual from the 12 vintage, the fruit is quite ripe and opulent yet the bright acidity and strong mineral presence provide nice balance. It needs another ten to fifteen years to reach the peak as it still shows a lot of baby fat. Really enjoyable in a very youthful way. (4069 views)
 Tasted by tinybubbles on 11/9/2015 & rated 94 points: Not quite my style of wine when young but this is very well made and will be much better with time. First press pear cider, floral notes, quite perfumed nose. Floral notes helpfully calm down with air time. Incredible depth of white and yellow flowers on the palate. Acid becomes more focused and the wine warms and with air time. Some initial reduction blew off. 94+ (2091 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
