  Cote d'Or white burgundy is a bit out of my price range these days so I've been looking elsewhere for my white burgundy "hit".
  
  Given the last white burgundy I had was a 2007 Coche-Dury Meursault (someone brought it to dinner!!) I wasn't expecting too much from this despite its price (around £28). I was recommended this grower by a MW who was also at the dinner.
  
  If you don't drink it too cold (get it out of the fridge for half an hour) then there's plenty to enjoy in this wine - appealing nose of lemon and nuts, rich mouthfeel but with a nice zip of acidity keeping everything in check.
  
  Doesn't quite have the viscosity of a top Cote d'Or but nevertheless I'm suitably impressed. Better on day 2 than day 1 (vacuvined overnight) so perhaps keep for a year or two.
  
  Had two further bottles over the Christmas period. The first was as above, the second however was less appealing with slight oxidised notes suggesting bottle variation.
