A burgundy at this price point cannot be expected to be at the level of the more famous white burgundies. However, it did present itself by the characteristic white burgundy nose and nice minerality, but still with some agressive acidity, which I think will mellow within a year or two. (I did buy a couple of bottles at the tasting :) ) After some time in the glass it faded out, and it should be consumed not too much time after being uncorked.

The bouquet is fruit with some acidity. Needing a few minutes in the glass to reach a strong, complex taste. Still not quite up to the elegance of the premier cru P-Fs I tasted last week, but definitely worth drinking.

A sweet wine well made. At 17% and not so high a sugar content it is fairly light. However, I am missing a complexity in the taste and other sweet wines in the market are more interesting. This bottle had been stored cool in my cellar for more than 10 years.
