| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by ddingley on 9/26/2021 & rated 92 points: Started with some barnyard and opened up into a very interesting wine with complexity. Lemon, slate, even some mushroom? Acidity still in evidence. Primary fruit has faded but a great wine today. (660 views) | | | Tasted by Vinophiliac559 on 6/9/2021: Last bottle for me. Cork in great shape, nose with lemon curd, poached apple/pear, slightly oxidative, palate is the same with good acidity, a bit one dimensional and lacking the minerality to bring it up a notch but very good none the less. Paired with Dungeness Crab and did very well throughout dinner. (837 views) | | | Tasted by ddingley on 3/24/2021: Slightly oxidized. Disappointed because really interesting except for the slightly off taste. (875 views) | | | Tasted by SeaWine on 7/16/2019: Had this blind with a number of other white burgundies in the summer of 2019. It was smooth and balanced and (as was revealed) a bit older, but certainly still alive and kicking. Overall, however, a little disappointing given the price.
From that blind tasting, below were my rankings (and the group's rankings):
1 (2) 2012 Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chateniere
2 (3) 2016 Domaine Bernard Millot Puligny-Montrachet Les Corvées des Vignes
3 (1) 2017 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin Le Banc
4 (4) 2015 Maison Harbour Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru en Remilly
5 (7) 1999 Maison Roche de Bellene Meursault 1er Cru Charmes Collection Bellenum
6 (5) 2013 Rapet Père et Fils Corton-Charlemagne
7 (6) 2017 Walter Scott Chardonnay X-Novo Vineyard (950 views) | | | Tasted by Vinophiliac559 on 9/19/2018 & rated 92 points: 91-92 Again nose seemed a touch muted, took a little time to come out. Decent acidity, nicely aged, similar to bottle opened a few years back. Had next to a 12' Ente Bourgone which may have overshadowed this a bit. Still a very enjoyable, well aged, white burg. (1671 views) | | | Tasted by rogerr on 3/16/2018 & rated 94 points: Beautifully maturing Burgundy. (1283 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 9/30/2017 & rated 92 points: Touch VA at first whiff, slight vinegar note, then honey-nut cheerios thing, after a bit of air, this cleaned up nicely with lovely balance, perfect age for a '99, and even slight tannins in the end. Really cool. 92+. Your best burg tasting Ty's. (1650 views) | | | Tasted by ryestraw on 9/12/2017: Damn you Premox. (1556 views) | | | Tasted by ucbeau on 7/15/2017 & rated 87 points: Chilled in refrigerator for about 2 hours prior to serving. It wasn't premox'd, so that's good. Beyond being in good shape though, this wine wasn't super interesting. It had some good elements; things like lemon zest and fresh red apple..But it didn't have much minerality, and lacked the sense of depth that great Meursault should have. There was an odd element to the finish too, something kind of bitter along with barrel notes. (1499 views) | | | Tasted by skifree on 2/17/2017: At first, thought this had oxidized. To my surprise, that blew off but the wine was muted, had a couple of sips that hinted of greatness but the overall impression left me thinking "that was very good but nothing special" - in the 86-88 scale. Did not actually score as I still think this may have been slightly pre-moxed. (1317 views) | | | Tasted by Vinophiliac559 on 10/11/2016 & rated 93 points: BDay Wine Dinner (Annex Fresno): 92-93 Nose was a little closed at first. Opened with time and air. Elegant nose of custard, lemon meringue and baked apple. Beautifully aged Mersault with bright acidity and such finesse. Really enjoyed, had as an aperitif but really didn't do it justice as this should have been paired with scallops, lobster or any pasta in a rich creamy sauce. (1422 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
