Fragile so pop and pour (2498 views) | | | Tasted by brianakrin on 11/20/2013 flawed bottle: corked (2495 views) | | | Tasted by ledwards on 10/13/2013 & rated 90 points: Good value. Drinks well. Golden. Oak is present but nicely integrated. Sweetness is well balanced- material has some aged mesnil charateristecs. Not a long finish but pleasant all around. (2543 views) | | | Tasted by Goldstone on 4/26/2012 & rated 90 points: Drank from 375ml off the wine list at the new Chez Patrick Restaurant in Garden East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Very nice silvery greenish gold colour. Nose of lightly roasted hazelnuts, butterscotch drops and minerals. Palate improved a lot as the wine warmed up and showed rich butterscotch balanced by citric acidity and nice minerality. Quite a lot of weight. A bit short on resonance and length. Paired very well with the Hokkaido scallops starter. (2946 views) | | | Tasted by sdchevs on 4/4/2012 & rated 91 points: Clean, fresh Chardonnay nose, hints of wood, citric, minerals; round, balanced, good fruit and finish. w duck breast and foie gras (1070 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 11/26/2011 & rated 90 points: Served chilled to accompany Dover sole. Popped and aerated for 30 minutes in the glass. Pale gold color. Fresh nose of lemon zest, apple core, schist, alpine flowers. Fairly clenched on the palate initially but with time in the glass releasing crisp flavors of citrus and granny apple awash in fresh acidity and grippy, steely spine. Moderately-long, austere finish. Very good and an excellent pairing with our meal. (1486 views) | | | Tasted by sdchevs on 11/7/2011 & rated 89 points: Pale straw green gold; old nose; minerals; honey; tight, citric, mid-body, semi-oily, fat. (908 views) | | | Tasted by godx on 12/30/2010 & rated 89 points: Tasted blind – light straw in colour. Austere nose with delicate oak treatment, soft lime and hints of butterscotch. On the palate, the oak is more noticeable with flavours of citrus and minerality. Very lean with great length. No one guessed ‘06 vintage. Needs time. Very good. 89+ (1659 views) | | | Tasted by MagnumGourmet on 4/29/2010: Light gold. Coconut on the nose. Nothing special sprung to mind with this wine. Finish was DOA. Would not purchase again. (1665 views) | | | Tasted by tarheel17 on 4/11/2010 & rated 88 points: Not Too Fancy Burgs (Red & White); 4/10/2010-4/11/2010 (Seattle Wine Storage): #4 blind
nose: coconut cake, some nail polish when swirled.
palate: a little manufactured, almost goopy sweet fruit. Caramel and oak all over the place. Though not bad, I found this to be a bit clumsy, and I guessed it was a new world chardonnay with all the oak. Wrong again. (1977 views) |

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
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
