Bourgogne Blanc

1999 Roulot Guy Bourgogne Blanc

By on June 30, 2006 #asides

Golden colour. The nose is understated, indeed rather dumb. The palate is glossy and complete – good mouthfeel and acidiry – but also overly understated. Less vivacity than when last drunk – perhaps it’s this bottle or perhaps the merchant’s storage is not so good(?)

Pale yellow. The nose is the most forward of this trio – like a half-pint Meursault. Reasonable fat and a nice finishing intensity to the fruit. Good acidity too. How nice? – well I promptly bought a case!

This is pale yellow with a very prominent peach and apricot nose – most individual. Fat, with a very wide palate and good acidity. I liked the style but my wife didn’t like the nose. Individual and very good.

1999 Rion Daniel Bourgogne Blanc

Straw coloured, just a trace of green at the rim. A wide, faintly citrus nose over a melony base. Fatter than the Aligote and also a little less simple. Good acid and medium length. Almost good.

1999 de Bucy Joseph Bourgogne Blanc

By on May 31, 2003 #asides

Pale yellow colour. The nose has good depth, is quite fresh and high toned with some green apple notes. Good fat and despite being a little sweet the acidity brings it nicely into balance. This wine actually has very good depth and length. Most of the grapes are sourced from Meursault – and you can tell. Excellent Bourgogne Blanc.
