Very enjoyable. (553 views) | | | Tasted by Geoff on 6/6/2018 & rated 94 points: Fresh fruit, a hint of clean oak, vanillin, good acidity. Excellent wine. (605 views) | | | Tasted by Phil.Kennedy on 6/28/2015 & rated 90 points: A very reliable and steady wine. Purchased 4 years ago, I just finished the last bottle of a case. Consistent and still improving, it is a classic: well made and a true partner with food, possessing a balance in every respect. Not dynamic, not pretentious, a lingering fruit and minerality in mid palate and finish. Delicious. Cannot say enough about the skill it took to make it: a lovely medium bodied chardonnay, putting to shame many of the supposedly "bigger" more prestiguous appellations whose wines do not come tgogether. Slightly buttery, clear and golden, a tantillazingly light citrus. Not easys to find, enjoy it if you can. Recommended for mature audiences (1053 views) | | | Tasted by Anton_Wallin on 3/9/2015 & rated 91 points: Well balanced acidity, yellow notes like apples, butter and a hint of honey in both nose and palate, well balanced oak, pleasant mouth feel. Great balance and structure!
This is a really good wine! (1164 views) | | | Tasted by Geoff on 1/11/2013 & rated 92 points: The wine looks Yellow colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like and Peach blossom. It tastes like and Vanilla. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Bright texture. The wine finishes Short. Plenty of acid but not out of balance. (1958 views) | | | Tasted by Alex H on 7/1/2011 & rated 86 points: Prickly acidity, slight heat but drinking well. Sharper acidity with focused white stonefruits and white nectarines. Some thyme and sage. A bit of wafer creaminess at the end. Good complexity (2503 views) | | | Tasted by Geoff on 6/19/2011 & rated 93 points: Linear, focused, pure. Yhis wine had amazing white flowers/light fruit, a tinge of grapefruit or grass, minerality and acidity enough to carry it for a long time. Very enjoyable, refreshing, and the best chardonnay I've had this year. (2539 views) | | | Tasted by Paul S on 5/15/2011 & rated 92 points: Burgundy 2011, Day 0 (Beaune): Wow - this was really surprising. Excellent stuff, even better than an already surprisingly Macon from Lafon. Really nice nose, a bit reserved, with an elegant touch of oak, sweet appley scents, pears, white flowers and some fresh herby notes - almost like sprigs of thyme and sage, and just the lightest hint of mineral. Again, there was a sense of 2009 ripeness on the bouquet, but this was pretty well controlled. There was a lovely feel on the palate, with well-integrated acidity giving a lovely sense of poise and balance, good body with plenty of depth, and rather delicious white fruited notes with bits of citrus. The finish weighed in with just a twist of oak, sprinkled of spice and almond nuts at the very end sprinkled with a bit of spice. This was a notch up fro the Macon - more complex, more structured than the Macon. Excellent stuff.

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
