White Burgundy

wines

Once again the recent bottling is present in the form of enough reduction to overshadow the fruit but not the wood toast. More interesting are the gorgeously textured, if not super-dense, flavors that possess a succulent mouthfeel along with good power on the lingering and well-balanced finale. Like several wines in the range, this would benefit from developing better depth.Burghound | 92 BH

A discreet but not imperceptible dollop of wood easily allows the aromas of citrus, spice, rosemary oil and the essence of pear to shine. The richer and bigger-bodied flavors remain sleek while displaying both good detail and length on the balanced, dry and youthfully austere finale. This is quite good though note well that at least some patience will be necessary.Burghound | 91 BH

This is also sufficiently reduced to be impossible to properly read though it shouldn’t last as it’s really more due to post-bottling sulfur. No matter, more interesting are the finer but not denser middle weight flavors that possess a generous mouthfeel along with a certain reserve that becomes more apparent on the sneaky long, balanced and notably dry finale. While clearly still a bit awkward from the recent bottling, I like the potential.Burghound | 91 BH

Once again, there is enough post-bottling reduction and soft wood to push the fruit to the background. The palate impression of the slightly bigger-bodied flavors is also rich to the point of opulence yet here there is more obvious power and particularly so on the zest-inflected and moderately dry finale that offers slightly better depth and persistence. This too could be approached young with enjoyment or held for 5 to 8 years first.Burghound | 91 BH

An elegant and expressive nose is comprised by a plentitude of floral elements along with hints of zest, apple, spice and a whiff of exotic tea. The racy and beautifully detailed medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the moderately austere, compact and impressively persistent finale. This is both lovely and very classy.Burghound | 93 BH
