Reasonably priced Burgundy (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Very ripe, unadorned fruit. Grapefruit, celery, ripe lemon. A sweaty note and honeyed sweetness. Really good on the palate: angular, mineral, super bright with sharp acidity that really sings. Not what's in my mind when I think of Burg, but interesting nonetheless.

A lovely blend of old and younger vines bringing both some of the generosity and opulence that you associate with Puligny, with a thread of racy and energetic citrus fruit and acidity.
On the nose: melon, lemon, and sun, with a pleasant slightly green tinge - I thought possibly celery.
On the palate: Cream, melon, lemon, balanced with a bready honeyish sweetness.
At £20.35 retail I do not intend to publicise this wine any more than I already have...

Entry level Bourgogne (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Quite pale. Sharp and clean, love this style. Apparently from younger vines in Puligny, so all the benefits of those soils. Really quite racy all things considered, nice acidity and length, cracking value at £20 on the table. Very bourgogne blanc, you don't get this elsewhere.

Basic Bourgogne (TWS), 23 November (Must and Lees, Warren Street): I am biased as I brought this, but for me this was the value pick of the night.
