At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Fine lemon with a lime streak. Chiselled limestone nose which makes Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet seem floral. Huge intensity, a wonderful thread through the middle with generosity and precision together. Just keeps building and never loses sight of the limestone. Just as long as the Bâtard-Montrachet.Inc.

The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a well-defined and focused bouquet. The oak initially feels loud, displaying toasty notes that admittedly marry well with the reduction, and then, magically, it coalesces and becomes more and more vivid and animated with aeration. The palate is very well balanced, and then flavors of mango, clementine and a touch of ginger reflect the precocity of the growing season. It feels a little heavy toward the finish, possibly with some botrytized fruit, but it develops precision with aeration. Very promising. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Meursault-Blagny Sous La Dos d'Ane 1er Cru demonstrates more reduction on the nose, although there is a quality wine beneath, delineated and displaying a sense of energy. The palate is predictably also quite reduced. Balanced with a keen line of acidity, but at the moment that reduction denudes this Meursault of personality. Therefore, afford this three or four years in bottle to "lift the veil." Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. GSTSG$1,874.15 -

The 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru has a heavy reduction on the nose that masks the terroir, but that will dissipate with time. The palate is (again) very reduced at the moment, good weight and concentration, quite muscular yet missing a bit of grace on the finish. Difficult to figure this out.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet with mineral-driven Granny Smith apple aromas and a touch of lemon rind. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Fresh and focused, the oak is cleverly interwoven with a persistent finish. This is excellent, a classy Folatières that should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.Inc. GSTSG$372.67
