Aged white burgundy, when you avoid Premox and bottle faults (storage, corked, etc), is one of my life’s greatest pleasures. Tonight we were fortunate enough to have two great examples. This wine had everything in the right place, deep golden straw color, perfect viscosity and wonderful aromatics. Minerality with medium acid streak, lemon zest and orchard fruit. A little reductive. I could’ve given a 97-98 on this wine but it faded a touch on the back palate, and I only noticed THAT because of the other wine in a side by side. More on that later but this wine I had my highest recommendation and coche always seem to be worth it.

Had in Paris at lunch. One of the best white wines I’ve ever had. Dried white flowers, a little match stick, wet earth. Powerful structure. It’s not young anymore but really coming into full maturity. Monumental.
Seemed to continue improving with air too!

Some electric juice. Zesty citrus, tense. Classic gunflint aromatics.

200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Wow wine here, lots of lemon aromas, rich, herbs, match stick, awesome aromas. Very nice, generous palate but good acidity, chiseled. In the as good as it gets category.

Just as compelling as last time around yet showing more on the nose, provided enough air. This gained and gained in the glass.
