Flight 2 (1 Note)

  • 2012 Joseph Drouhin Rully 1er Cru Blanc 89 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise, Rully 1er Cru

    Very light gold.
    A little vanilla (oak) and some nice citrus aromas.
    Quite a sweet fruity attack with an oaky presence, plenty of acidity, creamy citrus mid palate, good length, worth cellaring another 3 years.

Flight 3 (1 Note)

  • 2012 J.M. Boillot Montagny 1er Cru Blanc 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise, Montagny 1er Cru

    Pale lemon yellow.
    Creamy nose with apple and citrus notes, eventually joined by a little oak.
    Lovely citrus attack, some welcome bitterness in the mid palate, the oak doesn't interfere, good length, drinking well now but should really be left for another 4 or more years.
