Tasted Fall 2020, delicious with chanterelle pot roast and got me excited about wine again — 14 days ago
Bernard Boisson-Vadot
Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2014
This bottle brought me tremendous joy. My last bottle a few months back was over the hill and it really bothered me because I felt this could easily go 10+ years when I tasted it on release. This is a perfect example of there are no great wines just great bottles. Lovely scents of apple, lime and vanilla. A wonderfully integrated palate with a finish that makes you think premier cru. — 2 days ago
@Ira Schwartz, totally agree on your good bottle vs. good wine assessment!!
@Doug Powers I always would laugh about that when people would use that saying. Here were two bottles bought at the same time stored next to each other . Both corks were in good shape.
@Ira Schwartz, I’ve experienced it too many times to not believe it, particularly once the bottles have some age on them. Glad to read that this bottle met/exceeded your expectations!!

Full flavored and beautiful but unexpectedly a touch scratchy on the close. Needs time. — 4 days ago
