From a bottle purchased upon release and cellared in pristine fashion, this "forgotten soldier" has greatly benefited from extended hibernation. Limpid, medium-to-deep golden in color and without even a hint of oxidation, it delivers a gorgeous package of pit fruits, orange zest, honey, wet stones, lavender and jasmine. Medium-bodied and with bright acidity, it has excellent mid-palate density and finishes with impressive length. The vibrancy and complexity of this 16-year-old wine is a testament to the vineyard, the producer and the conditions under which it was cellared. As with any older bottle of white Burgundy, a bit of luck was also involved. 😉 Drink now.

Pale yellow white medium body wine. Good nose followed by smoothly blended almond, vanilla fruit that filled my mouth. Very satisfying finish with balanced acidity. About as good as it gets, especially when paired with grilled fish.

A very pleasant pale yellow medium body wine. Filled my mouth with complex blended fruit. Very nice finish. Surprisingly good wine for its age.
