Thursday, February 13, 2020 - Burgundy, Day 3 (Beaune, France): At La Cabotte. Frankly, this has got to be one of the best white Burgundies on the market today. Like a recent 2017 Vireuils, this wine didn't initially seem to show much of the steely, intense profile that I would expect from Roulot, and as predicted, this benefitted greatly from the introduction of air. This was best at the end of the meal, and because we had a small splash leftover, we took it home with us, where it was sloshed around pretty aggressively in the car as we went from appointment to appointment. In the evening, this was now really strutting its stuff. You get the laser-like mineral precision here, but unlike the lieux-dits, there is a breadth and richness on the palate, a sort of horizontalness, if you will, that is just magnificent. Flavour profiles and all that are meaningless here -- this is, simply, white Burgundy.
