 Tasted by Ghoulardi on 2/14/2022: Flint, cream, and citrus. Straddles a line between Chablis and a bolder Cote de Beaune style. I found this quite a bit rounder, and less lean, that some other tasters. Perhaps better with air but struck me as a bit rich and oaky. (950 views)
 Tasted by Bakerbd on 10/28/2021 & rated 92 points: Flint, Meyer lemon, electric acidity (1172 views)
 Tasted by Vas19 on 1/27/2021 & rated 90 points: Well made wine. Leans chablisien in style (1455 views)
 Tasted by ANWW89 on 9/5/2020 & rated 89 points: peach, green apple, light touch of oak and some cream. light acidity. refreshing at this young stage. wont rock your socks off, but nothing too bad about it either. still young and will develop with time in the cellar although those with space constraints will probably find others more worthy of the cellar space.

 Tasted by OmiyaDrinker on 8/22/2020 & rated 88 points: Peach, hay, cream, chalk. Medium - body, concentrated fruit on the palate, dusty texture, medium acid. Interesting but a slightly drying, bitter finish. (1240 views)
 Tasted by Ispendtoomuchmoneyonwine on 1/31/2020 & rated 92 points: Wonderful wine. White fruit with a perfect dose of oak for richness, excellent balance of fruit oak and acidity (1316 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
