I really liked this wine on release. This still has some solid pear fruit and a hint of hazelnut,but there is just the hint of some oxidative notes, and the wine seems much shorter than I remember. I'm thinking PremOx is tiptoeing in. For now, B-

I have decided until pre-ox issues are finished my plan for white Burgs is to stick to under $25 bottles for early drinking. This one works nicely. Mineral (chalk, flint) over a light framework of wood, bright and clean ripe pear fruit and a little nut and butterscotch on finish. B+/B

This is a bit fatter and richer than some previous vintages, but it carries it well- there's good acidic verve underneath. Bartlett pears with an overlay of hazelnut, light toasty notes. Very good for the level, went well with eggplant/proscuitto first course

(Clair Francoise et Denis St.Aubin Murguers des Dents de Chien) Medium-pale lemon yellow. The nose needs a little while to widen, perhaps a little white blossom. The palate is intense and soft, sweetly ripe. The acidity seems quite understated - but there’s much more density to this wine than in most vintages, it even has some focus. For the price, very impressive.

Rather old wine, still buttery note of a good Burgundian white. A touch of oxidative/sherry note. Time to drink
