from half bottle. darker than i might expect and while not bad, its more advanced than it should be. has a honeyed richness with a hint of butter solids, and still decent acidity to keep it interesting, but it drank best fridge temp as opposed to cellar temp, which in the realm of white burgs tells you something, i think. have had some issues with '14 boillot as well, caveat emptor.

Hyper décevant le 2018... Oui c'est typique bourgogne mais c'est loin d'etre un vin complet. Ca manque un peu de tout, il ma fait penser à un Meursault village... Déception.

Beautiful expression of this area. Drank opposite a '16 Drouhin Moouches which had slightly more weight. One of those whites you have to sip and savour. I decabted it and left to become just slighly chilled - improved grealty for this. Plenty of citrus and butterly oak.

Notable breadth and power, this is a broad shouldered ripe lemon and vanilla (thankfully not sweet) animal. For as beefy as this is, there is poise and focus. It is super yummy and hard to spit indeed. Just when I worry these wines can get a little too burly, they throttle back the intensity just in time and offer a nicely balanced profile of succulent fruit and nervy tension. Great acidity-to-fruit balance. Drinking great even now, though if you are vanilla adverse and are looking for the wood to integrate a bit more, try again in a few years.
