Other Reviews....
The 2016 Bourgogne Blanc has quite a powerful bouquet with fresh lemon peel and light granitic notes. The palate is well balanced with a slightly oily texture, good acidity, quite powerful with a tangy finish that just needs a little more mineralité coming through.

Neal Martin - Wine Advocate #234 (Dec 2017)

(production was down 80% of normal; just one barrel of this wine earmarked for the U.S. market): Subdued aromas of menthol and minerals. Stone fruit and menthol flavors convey an attractive creaminess. Good, serious Bourgogne with structure and length, not to mention character.

Stephen Tanzer - Vinous

An attractively fresh nose combines notes of pear, apple and citrus elements. The delicious and solidly concentrated middle weight flavors possess a beguiling sense of underlying tension before concluding in a complex and lingering finish where the only reproach is a touch of warmth.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

A blend of three parcels in Puligny: Les Houlières, Parties and Champ des Plantes. Max 10% new oak.
Deep greenish gold. Quite spicy and broad. Seems brighter and friendlier than some previous vintages. Long and quite rich.
