 Tasted by WineGuy2738 on 4/25/2024 & rated 80 points: Melon at first. Nose is sharper than taste. Pairs well with food. (158 views)
 Tasted by ralaspech on 3/16/2024 & rated 88 points: Green apple, pear, lemon and peach fruit profile. Medium acidity. Minimal oak. Finishes with some citrus rind, almond and minerality. Creamy texture. 88+ (252 views)
 Tasted by JUDTWD on 1/27/2024 & rated 55 points: Not tasty. I lack the vernacular of others on here, but $10 at Costco is better spent on any other wine I can recall. (390 views)
 Tasted by CaptBmann on 1/17/2024 & rated 90 points: Straw color. Medium body white peach, pear, lemon, touch of French oak. Medium dry. Buttery Soft. Delicate and delicious. (500 views)
 Tasted by sdwineguru on 10/21/2023 & rated 90 points: $35 white Burgundy 2020 Louis Latour Pouilly-Fuissé. Sharp mid-green gold; green apple, pear, citrus nose; low-mid acids; round, softening (13.0 alc.); semi-long, semi-fat finish; fades fast. w/appetizers. 16 UC Davis scale, 90 other scales. (803 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 6/20/2023: Sees no time in barrel, but still is a little thick in the mid palate. But otherwise going just fine. Easy fun drinking lunch wine I am being told. (1217 views)
 Tasted by Side Hustle Wino on 5/29/2023: Love this wine - gear acidity while still have creamy, full mouthfeel. (848 views)
 Tasted by Poussin on 5/12/2023 & rated 90 points: This worked well for me - low acid, as others have said, but with enough in the way of fruity and smoky-reduced aromas to stop it from being boring. (852 views)
 Tasted by Bhob160 on 4/14/2023 & rated 86 points: I had a bottle a few months ago and don’t remember it being this bad. Guess that’s why you take notes, eh? Just felt flabby and on par with a lower shelf grocery store wine. Tropical fruit notes with some lime, but out of balance and unremarkable. One glass was plenty, but finished the bottle. (888 views)
 Tasted by Acostaca on 4/12/2023 & rated 90 points: Very nice wine. Louis Latour is not about to import sub-standard wine to the U.S. Good balance of fruit and acidity in a classic French format. (676 views)
 Tasted by Baron Slick on 3/6/2023 & rated 90 points: Floral aromas, a touch honeyed, with notes of white and yellow fruit, lemon blossom, and quince. Crisp, tensile, nicely structured, and a gentle dusting of baking spices on the tasty finish. (178 views)
 Tasted by WineGuyX on 2/27/2023 & rated 91 points: This is round and giving. Quite good with good acidity and breadth. 91 (650 views)
 Tasted by phrygianmode on 11/22/2022 & rated 86 points: Agree with Ortiz Brown (956 views)
 Tasted by Ortiz Brown on 10/2/2022 & rated 86 points: Modest nose of tropical fruit and honey. Generous flavors of green apple, pineapple, and honey. But there's insufficient acidity to support those flavors leading to an off-balance drinking experience. (967 views)
 Tasted by Side Hustle Wino on 7/21/2022 & rated 90 points: Very much enjoyed this on a warm summer night! Woukd buy again! (1115 views)
 Tasted by ivanuk on 6/14/2022 & rated 86 points: Not as crisp as the Louis Jadot. Still a good Chardonnay though, with the typical floral bouquet. A slight acidic finish. You get what you pay for. (978 views)
 Tasted by MJP Hou TX on 6/14/2022 & rated 90 points: Purchased at Brunelleschi's in Aspen. Paired beautifully with the flat iron & paisano pizza. Offered great value at $50 on the menu. (2406 views)
 Tasted by Miguelvino@yahoo.com on 6/11/2022 & rated 89 points: Fresh, green apples, citrus at nose and palate , mild acidity. (652 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
