Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Great on Day 1 and even better on Day 3. The 2023 Montmains pours a pale straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with bright, powerful notes of green apple, passion fruit, freshly struck match, lemon oil, white tree flowers, and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, floral and mineral laden with a silky texture. Simply fabulous. Drink now with patience through 2038. 4300 bottles made. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 5 days ago

Young, fresh, still quite primary fruit in this younger 1er Cru Vaillons, some tart lemon acidity, some fine minerality, a floral note as well, medium-long finish, needs a little more aging (2-4 years?) for my palate, but very, very nice!! — 4 months ago

"Slow Decanted" this white burgundy with the Vinloq System

DAY 1
👃Lemon/underripe pineapple with stony minerals/black pepper. Vivid
👅Glorious minerality from start to finish.
Lemony fruit takes a back seat to the minerality but there is plenty to provide balance. Great structure, very nice acidity, and a slightly oily texture. All bright and crisp

The remaining burgundy was Slow Decanted in my refrigerator

DAY 10
👃Minerals lead on the vivid nose with lemons in the background. Less flinty minerality than day 1
👅Lemon fruit followed by minerality coming on at the black pepper finish. Structure, acidity, and oily texture continue. Concentrated. Classy and well put together

The 2014 Morgeot Les Fairendes is going strong and was powerful and refined on DAYS 1 and 10.
No reason this cannot continue to improve based on the great overall balance

B&B ? Price

Had w steak. Accessible, good bit/tannins but not over the top, some blue berry undertones.
Likely buy again

,"reds joust spectacularly with the kinds of dishes you think about when there is a cool spring evening that might call for a fire pit— steaks, grilled vegetables, burgers—but the perfect pairing is a rich, slow-cooked Daube de Boeuf, the classic red wine–beef stew of the region." — 3 years ago

Killer nose: stanky, lemony, green apple, with so much soil, stone, Kimmeridgian oyster-bed character and Chablis soul. The mouthfeel is the whole story here. Rich, juicy, opulent and hedonistic in texture, but absolutely alive, with real voltage underneath. Deep, layered, mouthwatering and beautifully mineral, with that classic oyster-shell salinity running through the fruit. A basic Chablis only in name. This has serious depth, energy and texture. — a month ago

Lovely aged 1er Cru Chablis, still quite fresh and lively, great fruit and complexity, lots of balancing acidity, I think the 2014 Cote de Lechet might be the top 2014 1er Cru, but this is darn good as well, long finish, “weird” perception on my palate, but I definitely perceived a subtle, yet distinct, “toasted coconut” note at one point (common in the beer pastry stout arena)!! — 4 months ago

Grassy, slight buttered risotto on the nose. Honeyed with a nice dry herbaceous finish. Great on its own or with food. — 5 months ago

Dirty mid Ruby in colour - tawny highlights On the nose red fruits (strawberries) with a touch of barnyard. A light to medium weight palate showing red fruits and sweet spice, but essentially a simple uncomplicated wine despite the fact that it cost $180 AUD. This is where good new World Pinots supercede Burgundies like this. The next night a better showing but no great complexity. — 9 months ago
