August 7, 2023 - Almost clear in color. Not much on the nose. The fruit underneath is tasty. I was a bit disappointed in this. Hopefully, it will improve with additional bottle age.
September 22, 2022 - Pale medium gold color, cooked apples, pears and oaky vanilla on the nose. The richness of the vintage comes through on both the nose and the palate in this wine. Medium+ body with sufficient acid to carry all this opulence. Slight minerally and alcoholic finish.
October 17, 2021 - Not as thrilling as I would have expected it to be, and better on day two. All the stuffing is there, I think just hold for a little bit. On the other hand, I've drunk it so often I have huge expectations. The '13 is still going strong!
October 15, 2021 - Touch of cinnamon spice on the nose. The weight comes on the back.
August 22, 2021 - ABV: 14.1%. Didn't have any whites at home except for this bottle and it was definitely way too young to open. Sadly, there were some missing qualities that left me unimpressed, particularly the lack of acidity and minerality. The bottle was opened and consumed over two nights so it had about 24 hours to open up. Although notes of apples and stone fruits became more prominent over that time period, the overall profile of the wine remained flat and one-dimensional. Simply put, I've had Bourgogne Blancs that were much more exciting and complex at half the price.
March 8, 2021 - Pernot Bourgogne Blanc has carved out a well deserved niche in the Bargain Burgundy Hall of Fame. The winery has some choice parcels but limited storage so the Bourgogne Blanc by intention will have a young fresh Puligny village flavor profile. The 2019 has no discernible oak, some very pleasant medium lingering acid and a nose and flavor profile that I can’t quite place. Definitely not citrus or at the opposite end apple. More like fresh unripened plum with a bit of butterscotch (if that makes any sense)? Its very pleasant in any case and more substantial than the somewhat OK somewhat watery 2018. Most of the wine apparently is from Les Femelottes and Champ Perrier, which sit slightly downslope from Les Reuchaux. I won’t place a numerical rating on this, its just a very pleasant light and lean wine.
