This very last bottle in the line up was flawed. Very much oxidized, so difficult to distinguish the character of Criots.
Well, premature oxidation is a huge problem of White Burgundy for the past two decades. Lots of lessons learned from that and chances are we will be able to enjoy premox free bottles of modern vintages in all their beauty along there long maturation journey towards full completeness

3rd & last wine of our 1st-flight. This was where it got a bit more interesting (first two were like "warm-ups"). On the nose, lots of white-flowers, peaches, cream... almost Riesling-like. Palate-wise, tropical fruits (lots of) - peaches, melons, pineapples, all presented in a most elegant manner with a lot of clarity/minerality. Very good, and by far the best wine of the 1st-flight.

Brought to my wine group xmas dinner. Split of opinion among the group. Divided between 3 views-oxidized, on its way out or very good. Dark yellow in color promting concern of oxidation. Minerality on the nose. I fell in the middle category and thought the palate decent with steel, minerals, butter and lemon. A decent wine, but not of grand cru quality.

Beautiful example of what advanced white can be - beautiful honey color and aroma, took 15 minutes to blow off the funk. Lovely.
