Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 represents a very good wine.
Blanquinto provided an informative review that describes how I experienced this wine. I prefer my white Burgs with some age on them, and so this might not be for everyone. I have two more, which I will drink in the near future.

Really tasty. Rich, mature yet fresh nose of hazelnuts and lemons married to a crisp, penetrating, integrated, and lingering palate. Lacks some refinement. My third bottle in the last few years, each showing zero sign of oxidation. 92+ pts

DRC Tasting Group (Bellevue, WA): Tasted blind. Lemon, minerals, lime, zest. A bit reduced. Citrus, lemon and green apple on the body; focused with lots of acid, which continues prominently through the finish.

Sulfury and crotch odors at first. Cleans up a bit to show some pears, butter, lemon, but I didn't spend enough time with this to see it's eventual evolution.

Medium straw, clear. Really funky nose at first - like standing in the room as soft cheese is being made at the creamery; burnt walnut shells. Not very appealing at first, but with some airtime/swirling lemon hard candies emerge; lemon custard finish, with candied pears, stones. A gently touch of butter. Medium-bodied, good cut. I believe the second half of this bottle lived until night #2, and I can only imagine it was improved. This village wine seems to have several more good years still ahead.
PnP, served non-blind.

The wine looks straw colored. It smells like grapefruit and lime. It tastes like grapefruit and lime. The body is light/medium. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. My last bottle. Still lovely, hasn't declined at all since my last tasting.

Brought this wine to a50th Birthday party.30 people attended. It was the favorite wine.It was nice to get 20 something's excited about wine. Enjoy now it won't get any better. I gave away a bottle to a couple who had to find the wine they loved it so much. I also told them they should buy the 2010 release. I can't wait to open my first bottle

a bit of a let-down. It's still good obviously, but it has lost some weight and the quality of the fruit just does not seem good enough to play the "minerality"-card. I will drink my last remaining bottle within the next six months.

Delicious and fairly priced white burgundy. The color is straw yellow. the nose is honey, pears, citrus, touch of butter. The flavors are bright and fruity. Orange peel, flinty, tart citrus, grapefruit. Very fresh and lively. Lingering tartness on the finish. Nice bottle and happy to have a few more for when the weather is warmer.

Total bargain and a very nice Chardonnay. Light, lively, bright and balanced. Very fresh attack and an elegant, long finish. This Boillot, from Jean-Marc, at under $25 last July, is a steal. Drink now, or over the next 3-5 years. Delicious.

Popped the cork and noticed a little greenish mold on the cork. Hmmm. On the nose there were lemon, mineral and a faint note of musty, wet cardboard. On the pallet more tart lemon, citrus, mineral, oak and just a faint bit of funk. I like the crisp acidity and then a bit of butter, marshmallow and butterscotch on the finish. I think this bottle was a little off, but there were lots of things to like about it.
Day two, the musty cardboard smell is gone but there is still a funky note in the aroma that I can't identify. Also the fruit is still tart but more tropical. The oak and mineral are still present. I'd like to try another bottle of this sometime.

A wine of great clarity and focus. It was quite lemony with a sappy, sweet mid-palate and excellent minerally cut. It breathed up to show some freshly churned butter notes.

In short: Fat, concentrated, long and focused. (JMB in a nutshell?) Not sure if this will last and develop as well as 05 & 06 versions of this wine, though. Drinking very well now! Love this stuff

Pale yellow. Spiced bartlet pear and asian pear with a medium body texture. Crushed quartz and a tangy spine of acidity that gives the wine a little lift to the finish. Very nice, but rather simple.

Light yellow. At first a little shy, but then reveals light yellow fruit, a little butter and nuts and minerals. In the mouth it also starts of a bit straight and short, but gradually releals typical notes of yellow fruit, butter and some sweet oak. There is very good balance and some nice licorice notes in the medium long finish. Less fat than the 2005 and less ripe than the 2006, but still very nice!
