This was very tasty, perhaps my cellar is better at aging, compared to others comments, but this was delicious. Acid, fat mouth feel, a bit buttery. Wonderful… I hope I can find the others that CellarTracker says I have!!!

It was probably passed time to drink. I poured it out. Jan thought it was actually back of the palate while I thought it tasted like high viscosity water.

White peach and citrus on a creamy palate. Didn’t find the smokiness or the piney notes that others had. Seems to have aged very nicely. Paired beautifully with lobster, and (coincidentally) with fresh, ripe NJ white peaches.

Remarkably different from my last tasting note of '14. At that point, the piney, resinous notes prominent at release were already receding. Now they're gone. Has matured into a really classy Burgundy, with gold hue, nice nuttiness and no premox to be found. Bit of honey emerging. Just a nice middleweight. Not sure if it will continue to age this gracefully but this is sipping nicely, especially for the price.

As Claire mentioned, this is a little low on the acid we expect from pretty much all white burgundies(and far less than Chablis). I still think it is very nice, surprising oak for the price point. That could also be a lot of lees stirring, masquerading as oak. Nice body, moderate complexity , and moderate finish. Great value.

Rounded, not angular, with mouthfeel balanced with some citrus zest. The assertive pine notes prominent in earlier tastings and in DrWine's note below have been subsumed. Not a heavyweight but lively and pleasant at this price point.

Always a delicious wine. This time paired with crab cakes. Good concentration. Floral notes on the nose. Really good QPR. Not an intellectual wine, but one that is solid and delicious.

As remembered, this wine is bright and fresh with lots of acidity. Lemon butter on the nose and tart although slightly coarse on the palate. Good QPR and a great everyday food wine.

Saturday Afternoon at Weygandt (Washington, DC): Nose shows green apple, cinnamon and some honey. That fresh 2010 acid complements the richer guava fruit. Round, with some almond-toast notes, but tangy all the way through.

White Burgundy at this price point doesn't get much better than this juice. Just the right touch of oak doesn't overpower the chardonnay fruit. Wonderful balance, and complexity usually associated with high end white burgs. This could age, if you can resist drinking it now!

A step up from most Macons. Can compete with many high end white burgs. Just the right touch of oak adds complexity and lets the chardonnay fruit shine through. Lip smacking acidity and a great finish

Very interesting wine, slight Malo present which I have not tasted much of in my limited white Burg experience. The crisp minerality I expect and love is still very present, as is lemon notes. Really enjoyed the wine and nice QPR.

I am really liking - it treads a nice line between plump, full fruit and allowing the terroir to express itself. Clarified butter, mushrooms, minerals. Peaches, whiteflowers and firm acidity. Nice stuff for £18.

I was quite impressed with this - really exceeded expectations. Very nutty, nice medium weight, and good acidity / great finish. Will pick up a few more half bottles ($12!) and suspect the drinking window here is better than anticipated.

2010 White Burgundy from North to South (Beltramo's, Menlo Park): Lemon and wood toast aromatics. Fatter style, subdued, underripe pineapple fruit and lower acidity in the context of the other wines tasted. Woody, resiny finish gives it a slightly gritty, inelegant feel. There is a lot to it for a wine at this level, but the oak is bothersome.

Burgundy 2012 Day 4: Visit to Faiveley (Nuits St-Georges, Burgundy): A well-made Mercurey blanc. I like the nose here, with its exuberant expressive notes of green apples and limes touched by a nice minerally lilt. Really decent on the palate too. Creamily textued in a Meursault-like fashion, it showed fresh flavours of green apples and sweet lemons leading into a solid finish lined with more lime and mineral notes and a little flowery hint hovering around the egdes. A bit on the simple side, but very pleasant.

Faiveley Wine Dinner at Donna’s (Donna’s Baltimore): Sulfur quickly blows off, showing some malo that doesn’t mask the purity, strong mineral presence, honeydew, a ripe apple slice and a hint of saline. Refreshing palate, a hint of spritz, stony, mouth puckering acidity and long finish. Excellent concentration and balance. Highly recommend for the Burgundy purist, all the elements that you find in a $50 meursault.

France 2012 - Côte d'Or; 7/16/2012-7/21/2012 (Beaune): Tasted at the Domaine. From 375ml. Was surprised to hear that this wine only sees 20% oak (the remaining 80% in stainless steel) as there seemed to be quite a bit of oak and smoky notes on the nose and palate. Either way, this is a simple, ripe and rich wine that’s weighty in the mouth with decent acidity and a medium length finish. Doesn’t have the freshness I would hope for in a 2010. Average.

London off-line w Pjaines (http://www.tufnellparktavern.com): Nose of peach and tropical fruits. In the mouth it's a velvet, oily, clean wine finishing with oak. Sprightly acids carry the wine from complete boredom to better than good.
