March 3, 2024 - Burgs, Birds, and Black Truffles (My place, Portland OR): The nose is well balanced and melded with lovely tones of vanilla, pears, red apples, quince, melon, a touch of reduction, custard, yellow flowers, and cream notes. This shows off some good depth with a real seamless quality that shows how well this has aged. The Medium bodied feel is silky and balanced with crisp, medium+ acidity. The acidity is well integrated and there is a deftness to the feel that comes from some age. This feels like it is really in its pomp as this shows off all of the good qualities that you want from an almost 12 year old Premier Cru White Burg.

October 6, 2018 - Very decent and well made, but for its level, I expected more than that. Felt more like a village than a 1er. Is it the vintage? I have had more positive experiences with this producer (admittedly from his puligny bottlins).
Note to self: should buy and drink his brother’s (or father’s) wines more! -

December 15, 2017 - Not balanced. Acidity without nuance, dollops of oak, expected more.
