Pale gold color. Yellow apples, baked pear, citrus peel. Some signs of age with nutty tones and very slight oxidation. Such concentration and depth with mineral backbone. #grandcru #burgundy #montrachet #ramonet — a year ago
Dark. Fierce and concentrated. Blackcherry, cough drops, molasses. Lifted by a significant hit of volatile acidity, but it all works. 2013 is a top-rate year in Cote de Nuits areas unaffected by hail. #moreysaintdenis #pinotnoir #burgundy — 2 years ago
Porcini, black tea, incense, soy. All the good kinds of funk. Edgy and potent. Really fun to drink; rustic and sexy. #marsannay #naddef #burgundy — a year ago

Tired, flabby, unfocused. Tastes and smells like it’s in the process of premox. Bad bottle? #stveran #chardonnay #burgundy — a year ago
Ah, the famed white #burgundy #bourgogneblanc . It was the first fine white wine I can remember drinking and still my favorite. This is a fantastic #chablis example - just vary serving temperature to explore the layers of flavor. Honeysuckle, spring fields aroma and crisp minerality - tastes like it smells and a long finish. — 2 years ago
Vintage 2014 / true to type #pinotnoir with a farmyard smell, spicy and harmonious taste #burgundy #bourgogne — a year ago
A well-balanced and teenaged #Burgundy - a special treat indeed! 🍷
This was sommelier Matt Portnoy’s pick when we couldn’t decide what to order with dinner. He so kindly served us Bud Lights with the bottle to round out our trip to Flavortown (as Guy Fieri would say). 🍻
Enjoyed at Manhatta, Danny Meyer’s newest addition to the stellar USHG family. Not only are the views epic, but the food is great, design is excellent, cocktails inventive and there are even binoculars along the window for exploration of the sights to behold from the 60th floor of 28 Liberty Street. 🏙
GO if you are in New York, and order the soufflé for dessert! 🗽 — a year ago
Reduced. After a day, there’s straight forward sea spray, lemon oil and apple blossom. Plenty of acidity, but decent richness. An old favorite that always delivers. #chablis #chardonnay #burgundy — 2 years ago

Crú Flight N° 12: Tour De France 2 - #burgundy red which was quite ripe, just a little bit of spice but I thought the fruit was just a bit too assertive for my taste. — 7 months ago
