Les héritiers renaud, pouilly fuissé 2020
Wine 5 of my birthday blind tasting. The richness of the nose and the somewhat low acid palate threw me in the wrong direction. I called white saint joseph 🤷‍♂️.
There is pear, pineapple, lemon and tangerine on the nose, along with some chalky notes. It's not textbook. The palate is rich and broad, with pear, white peach and lemony notes. It’s almost sweet. There is a bit of phenolic grip in the rear, and a nice finish that ends up with a bit of bitter note. It’s actually quite nice and I must confess that I have been overlooking southern Burgundy whites largely over the past few years and I will need to remedy that. — 7 days ago

The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru doesn't possess the delineation and panache of Tollot-Beaut's on the nose at first, though it coheres nicely with aeration. Peach skin, linseed and wilted white flowers eventually come through. The palate is well-balanced with a viscous entry, a little more honeyed in style than previous wines in this flight of Corton-Charlemagne, though it deserves applause for the precision and detail on the finish. It needs a little more time in the bottle compared to others because there is a lot of coconut-ty new oak. My score is based on this being assimilated with bottle age. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2024)

@Delectable Wine - This is the Santenay Blanc. New oak leads on the nose, with really nice ripe apple, verging into each, fruit and some Burgundian gravel. On the palate, the wine has a nice soft mouthfeel and reasonably complex flavors, maybe tilting a bit too much on the oaky side if I were to quibble. — 2 days ago
