On my shortlist for white wine of the year. So rich and deep, with outstanding detail and cut. Some smoky reduction gives way to allow the pure white peach fruit to shine. It has notes of spearmint and chalk too. It is creamy, rich and unctuous through the mid-palate and such awesome power without excessive weight. The finish powers on and on.

Wow. Now this has the power and weight of a Chevalier Montrachet. The most fruit forward of the bunch but supported by that d’Auvenay linearity. A massive and structured wine impressive richness and a hint hazelnut deliciousness. What a treat.

200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Rich, ripe, powerful. Lots of volume, lots of acidity too. Top drawer Burg albeit on the plush side.

Light matchstick, elegant aromatics. Piercing flavors, ethereal texture. Trades on elegance over power. (1140/1211)

12/21/2018 - Alex G. Likes this wine:
Holiday Burgundy Lunch - Rousseau, Leroy, DRC, Ramonet, d'Auvenay (Scottsdale, Arizona USA): Served blind. Dense and sweet, guessed maybe '99 Leflaive. The reveal was somewhat disappointing, this was a good wine but didn't blow me away as most d'Auvenay white wines do.
