February 10, 2024 - Nutty and mineral aromas, with ripe citrus, butter, caramel and some oak. Creamy and full bodied. Lacks some complexity and concentration, but good for a BB.
December 25, 2023 - Is fantastic for being a Bourgogne Blanc - but that is probably stating the obvious for this bottle - in a great state right now to drink and the ripeness of the '15 vintage does come through very slightly although in a nonintrusive manner.
March 15, 2023 - Le Pavillon with G. Dai. Big shoulders for a regional wine. Ripeness of the solar vintage evident, but still with lovely acidity. Probably the best example of this BB in recent memory and certainly more sophisticated than the '18. Lovely.
August 23, 2022 - PNP. Sealed under a 2 inch long diam closure. White flowers, orchard fruits, spice and lemons on the nose. Lively palate, light weight with lifting acidity and a silky texture.
August 10, 2022 - Pop and pour. Sublime for bourgogne blanc. The reduction has blown off, and this is pure lime, citrus blossom, a touch of vanilla and a hint of almond/hazelnut. On the palate: fantastic acidity, weight and density. More citrus and stone and just caresses the palate. So elegant. At peak, imo.
May 21, 2022 - Apparently it’s been 3+ years since my last bottle of this, but it has seemingly hardly budged since then. Still very youthful. Reduction on the nose, but with air it gives way to fruit, spice and mineral notes. Has the cut I expect from Roulot. Quite good.
February 6, 2022 - Bought for $60 and it is worth that price. Nice heft and complexity for a bourgogne blanc, more like a village wine. Slight reduction that blows off paired with clean yellow fruit and some white flowers. Long finish with ample acidity, not getting any over ripe tones form the vintage.
January 17, 2022 - My favorite Bourgogne Blanc. No, it doesn’t have the intensity or the longest finish.. but the balance and purity in this is remarkable. Great value.
December 24, 2021 - Burgund pur. Salzig, mineralisch. Top.
August 27, 2021 - Jamais bu un générique d'un tel niveau ! Dès l'ouverture, on sent une grande richesse et une belle densité, mais c'est un peu comprimé. Deux heures de carafe plus tard, le vin s'est mis en place: on sent que c'est mûr, très mûr, la trame acide est complètement intégrée à la matière, mais c'est tout sauf lourd. Le chardonnay s'exprime bien, l'élevage se note à peine en rétro-olfaction, une belle bouteille que les convives plaçaient au moins en village sinon en premier cru, plutôt sur Puligny.
