  pas une pointe d'oxydation. vin peu expressif mais qui gagne un peu à l'aération. bel équilibre mais un certain manque de densité et tension.

  Its great to find a white burgundy from the 2000s that has matured correctly. This bottle opened perfectly with a pale green gold colour and a fragrant nose of Nashi pear, white peach, yuzus and touches of lime and citrus flowers. The palate shows quite rich fruit characters of citrus and stone fruits backed by a persistent backbone of grape tannin, chalky minerality and a fine line of acidity. There's a touch of buttered cashew and honey as characteristics of maturity but plenty of freshness that suggests properly stoppered and cellared this should continue to develop positively.

  I had 6 of these and unfortunately 3 were flawed (pre-mox). Thankfully the last one was perfect and that’s the one I will remember. Well described by many below I have added another point to the various 94 ratings as I think it was that good and special. However, caveat emptor, the number of flawed listings here indicate an issue.

  I just noticed that I hadn’t entered a note. This was an exceptional bottle of mature WB, perhaps not ultra classic or nuanced as the greats can be, but a wonderful drinking experience. Thankfully, no signs of PREMOX whatsoever. We drank it at a lavish dinner and the wine got better and better as the evening went on and it came close to room temperature.

  Round and complex - tree fruit, peach , a hint of mineral . Drink now tho - just a very tiny hint of what could be some oxidation
