Very nice from pnp with mellow honeyed ripe red apple fruit - relatively low acidity but still focused enough and not flabby at all. In a sweet spot but a bottle opened and consumed throughout the day revealed that the last glass was the best so maybe even tiny bit of upside here. Lovely bottle! 93++

Very nice bottle - you could tell from the first sip it was absolutely a point. Restrained soft and creamy nose - what there is, is very pleasant. Absolutely delicious on the palate - broad, slightly sweet lemon curd, moving into a more saline preserved lemon, then some smokey/flinty sensations, followed by a long brioche finish. Could be improved with a touch more acidity, but if all white Burgs tasted like this then I wouldn't complain.
Breathed for one hour. One of the best 06 burg white I have had. Ripe and fat yet balanced unlike most 06. It has low acidity. Drinking at its peak now. Very enjoyable.

Blind White Tasting: Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes (The Blanchard - Chicago IL): Served blind in 04/06 Ruchottes flight. Less forthcoming aromas to start, but this really picked up charm with more time in glass, with ripe stone fruit emerging that was nicely balanced. Less ripe flavors with excellent overall balance, this was a rare 2006 that showed better than its 2004 vintage counterpart. This was also better tonight than the Ramonet 2006 Ruchottes in the flight.

From memory, good showing, quite fat and perhaps still needs to come on a bit ***1/2
