Paul Pillot Chardonnay Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

A fairly unimpressive showing here. The first of two bottles I had was flawed. This second and last bottle I had showed basic...and I mean BASIC... yellow citrus flavors. It was more like ONE yellow…

Paul Pillot Chardonnay Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

Totally flavorless, with an odd aftertaste reminiscent of licking a stamp. I popped a second bottle just to make sure this wasn't some weird profile Pillot was kissing off for his Bourgogne Blanc.…

Vincent Dancer Chardonnay Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

An odd wine, almost like a Burg posing as a white Rhône. Leesy and smokey, with a spritzy secondary fermentation banana in club soda thing going on. 18 months elevage seems like it was an experiment…

Jean-Jacques Confuron Bourgogne Cuvée Jeunesse

Burgundy · Bourgogne

Strawberry, rhubarb, red raspberry, soil, pine resin, and a little hint of funk. Light on its feet and stylistically a cross between old and new worlds; certainly a more lithe and airy delivery…

Paul Pillot Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

Purple crimson color. Deep and brooding at first, with a bit of a stiff upper lip. Air helps to relax and deepen the dark red and black berry, limestone, licorice and evergreen notes.

Domaine Duroché Chardonnay Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

A little too restrained and straight-laced for my personal preference. I would've liked to see a bit more oomph and personality here beyond the basic light and airy yellow citrus flavors. Predictable…

Henri Boillot Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

Accessible flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, and a dash of spice set off this Bourgogne in a fashion that is immediately pleasing. It over-performs a tick or two above its class, fanning out…

Henri Germain et Fils Pinot Noir Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

Up from the nose wafted scents of spring flowers and fresh strawberries, however the palate offered a thin and overly lithe presentation of watery rhubarb and some citrus peel. No mid-palate drop at…

Domaine François Mikulski Chardonnay Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

Hey bro, for $20, who could complain. Lemon and some white stone notes. Round without being too plush or soft. Just enough acid to keep it all in focus. Bottle was gone before we knew it. It's…

Domaine Bart Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

Rough. Pretty wonky execution of flavors, with some red berry dragging its feet behind medicinal and stemmy plum notes. An accident that found a place to happen.

Etienne Sauzet Chardonnay Bourgogne

Burgundy · Bourgogne

A little pithy and linear on the initial entry, with white stone fruit, pumice, and steely lemon leading the charge. Overly racy in its current state, missing the main mark mid-palate as it rapidly…
