| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by fclarity on 11/21/2021 & rated 94 points: From a bottle that seemed free of premox, This wine had a deep yellow/ight gold center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose generated citrus, toasted vanilla, peach, and minerals.
This was a bit more dramatic in the mouth than in the nose. It was full bodied and rich (after 2+ hours of air) with well integrated acidity, and great length. Maybe just a touch more wood than i prefer.
Somewhat Batard like, this big flavor impact wine was a bit less sophisticated than many Grand Crus. However, it was very impressive and probably at its peak. It should last at least another 5 years. (750 views) | | | Tasted by fclarity on 9/26/2021 & rated 91 points: From a flawless bottle purchased on release, I had high hopes for this wine as the color looked solid prior to opening. However, as I poured it in my glass, I noticed the gold center and clear rims. That was clearly more advanced looking than it should have been.
The nose and flavors were pretty solid at first. The medium+ intensity nose put forth lemon, apple, minerals, and toasty oak notes. However, the mouth quickly showed some flat/fat oxidative flavors behind those noted above.
Oddly enough, as this aired for several hours it freshened up and became less oxidative. The acidity was strong and the wine had very good length. This bottle was not substantially premoxed but it was not unaffected either.
This wine wasn't bad enough off to call it "flawed" but it wasn't quite right either. I believe the lesson here is even if your bottle looks good, you should probably be looking for excuses to pull the corks.

(717 views) | | | Tasted by schan109 on 5/16/2020 & rated 92 points: Breathe (time unknown) before serving. Good acidity with honey, zest and flower with some depth. Medium finishing. Still fresh and vibrant. (813 views) | | | Tasted by Vinnut on 8/30/2015 & rated 93 points: Light yellow in color. Full, forward, attractive and fragrant nose of mature & developed, complex aromas of apples, pears, citrus notes of lemons/limes & grapefruit with floral notes of honeysuckle, roasted hazelnuts, minerals, flinty, stony, buttery & a hint of toasty oak. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, complex, rich, fruit flavors of tart apples, sweet pears & lemons/limes with minerals, flinty, stony, honey, buttery & a hint of toasty oak. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present and I doubt any further development would occur from additional aging, so drink up! An outstanding Chassagne without any of the typical pre-mox issues. (2098 views) | | | Tasted by dream on 12/9/2007 flawed bottle: Oxidization on the nose. Oxidation on the palate. yet another '96 white Burgundy with cork problems. (3252 views) | | | Tasted by Joe Belmaati on 10/17/2004 & rated 85 points: Medium to mature yellow. Semi-oxidized on the nose with notes of beer, and rubber underneath. In the mouth the wine had ample fatness but little grip. LAcked freshness and vibrancy. As for structure the wine seemed slightly undefined. The general flavour impression was quite nice, and the aftertaste did have some length, however in the grand scope of wine analysis this bottle seemed slightly oxidized. Personally, I could enjoy the wine for what it was, but I guess some people would give this wine a no rating. Certainly adds fuel to the debate on oxidized 1996 White Burgundy wine. Overall, this was a wine I enjoyed quite a bit, but like I said, in a wine analysis sense...
85 points (4637 views) | | | Tasted by mdefreitas on 5/22/1999 & rated 89 points: Pre Auction Wine Tasting w/ Aubert de Villaine (DRC) (NYC): Closed nose. Needs time. An elegant, rather than powerful style of white Burgundy. (4032 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy 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
