 Tasted by RVC_Wine on 5/22/2023 & rated 92 points: Med gold after just 5 yrs
Smokey and yeasty nose, creme brulee, honey, Bosc pear, hint of earthy Brazil nut and mushroom - heady and plump
Palate has excellent minerality yet - juicy creamed peaches, wet rocks, zesty and intense orchard apple and crunchy green pear. Mineral finish of chalky length

Lots of stuffing and interest here! (394 views)
 Tasted by hargy on 5/7/2023 & rated 88 points: disappointed with this bottle - closed with little development since my last - will it ever 'turn the corner'? (389 views)
 Tasted by Loathesome on 11/27/2022 & rated 93 points: This was a complete shock as though Javillier is a great producer I have not always been a fan of his Bourgogne Blanc. From the word go and when too cold I was amazed how much concentration there was. Super acidity and great balance. Kept going and beautiful from first taste to last. A real eye opener. terrific.

 Tasted by hargy on 8/27/2022 & rated 89 points: this was quite closed and a little out of balance - better the second day - it may improve with a bit more time (514 views)
 Tasted by bkomisar on 6/21/2022 & rated 83 points: Honey, butter, and slight citrus on the nose. Big bodied with apple, honey, and a slight sweetness on the palate. Finishes dry with nice acidity that cuts the slight sweetness. (586 views)
 Tasted by jlm on 3/9/2022: Medium to light straw color. Attractive nose of white orchard fruits and cereals, more Chassagne than Meursault. Fresh and fruity on the palate, with clear expression and bright acidity melding nicely. A very satisfying basic Bourgogne. (393 views)
 Tasted by Macdog on 9/18/2021: Quite good. Bought off the back of enjoying the ‘15. I won’t buy more of this vintage. (581 views)
 Tasted by NWitham on 5/29/2021: This has really opened up since the last bottle I opened a year ago. Rich and nutty, balancing lemony fruit with some minerality and a hint of oak. (591 views)
 Tasted by Sean Tay on 11/6/2019: Lemon, citrus, medium body-, medium finish-, medium+ acid, (958 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
