  First time having a proper old school white Burgundy and it was an educational experience. Drank much younger than it was, it had a bright creamy purity and the wine still had plenty of ripe fruits and energy. Became a little sherry-like when it got too warm in the glass with honey, nutty and pear notes so it was better to leave it in an ice bucket. Incredible amount of layers and complexity but unfortunately didn’t quite come together at any point during the night. Referts is supposedly old Carillon’s best wine after the BBM - haven’t had any of the montys before but I can definitely imagine what they taste like after this.

  Amber in colour with a lively nose of pineapple, vanilla honey. Bit thin on the palate but still a lovely wine. Drank with the Champs Canet of the same year and producer and this one had the edge, which is not what the current price tag would suggest.

  my wine at wine club summer blind white tasting. Spectacular bottle. Perfect balance between secondary character fruit and sense of place. Slaty and racy with some buttery richness . The fruit of 1992 but with supporting acidity. If only white burgundy was made like this now!
