Bourgogne Blanc - 2015

86-88 points
"This too is agreeably cool with its fresh array of pear, apple and kiwi fruit aromas. There is once again fine volume to the solidly concentrated flavors where the mid-palate is supple to the point of being almost easy yet the finish tightens up enough to maintain the balance."

A rich, full wine, the Bourgogne 2002 has impressive spicy aromas. Fairly full-bodied and silky, the ensemble is dense, juicy, fresh and full, flooding the palate with spicy mineral and pear notes. For drinking within 3-4 years. 87-89.

Tasting notes by Corney & Barrow
Bourgogne Blanc
Customers will remember that this is a Villages Puligny by any other name, harvested from two plots 'Les Parties' and 'Les Houlières', a few yards south and west of Puligny Montrachet. As such it represents terrific value. Rich, firm gold colour. Gloriously ripe nose with an amzingly taut, even mineral perfume. The palate is rich, succulent and full, generous to the finish with good acidity. Drink in 2005.

Bourgogne
Apricots and yellow plums can be found in the aromatic and flavours profiles of the 2003 Bourgogne (white, 88-89). Rich, lush, medium-bodied, and seductive, this softly-textured wine is fruit-forward and enticing. Its long finish reveals flavors reminiscent of pear syrup. Enjoy it over the next 4 years.

Tasting notes by Corney & Barrow
Bourgogne Blanc
Customers will remember that this is a Villages Puligny by any other name, harvested from two plots 'Les Parties' and 'Les Houlières', a few yards south and west of Puligny Montrachet. As such it represents terrific value. Rich, firm gold colour. Gloriously ripe nose with an amzingly taut, even mineral perfume. The palate is rich, succulent and full, generous to the finish with good acidity. Drink in 2005.

Apricots and yellow plums can be found in the aromatic and flavours profiles of the 2003 Bourgogne (white, 88-89). Rich, lush, medium-bodied, and seductive, this softly-textured wine is fruit-forward and enticing. Its long finish reveals flavors reminiscent of pear syrup. Enjoy it over the next 4 years.

Bourgogne
A rich, full wine, the Bourgogne 2002 has impressive spicy aromas. Fairly full-bodied and silky, the ensemble is dense, juicy, fresh and full, flooding the palate with spicy mineral and pear notes. For drinking within 3-4 years. 87-89.

Tasting notes by Corney & Barrow
Bourgogne Blanc
Customers will remember that this is a Villages Puligny by any other name, harvested from two plots 'Les Parties' and 'Les Houlières', a few yards south and west of Puligny Montrachet. As such it represents terrific value. Rich, firm gold colour. Gloriously ripe nose with an amzingly taut, even mineral perfume. The palate is rich, succulent and full, generous to the finish with good acidity. Drink in 2005.

Rich and full bodies. Slightly heavy. Yet good acidity. Good but not great. From 2005.

Bourgogne
Apricots and yellow plums can be found in the aromatic and flavours profiles of the 2003 Bourgogne (white, 88-89). Rich, lush, medium-bodied, and seductive, this softly-textured wine is fruit-forward and enticing. Its long finish reveals flavors reminiscent of pear syrup. Enjoy it over the next 4 years.
