Yummy lemon curds all day, with good integration of oak.

Apr 25th, 2020Not quite as energetic as the red version in 2010. But impressive oak integration. Elegantly crafted.

Feb 21st, 2016A bit oaky but there's a wine underneath that is both refreshing and complex. I don't sense it will integrate too much more with time, yet I still liked it with the Christmas turkey.

Dec 25th, 2015Mind blowing. Ying-yang of sweet and savory. Earth, smoke, tobacco, leather, with pristine red fruit. So clean, fresh. Consistent. Very emotional. So good.

Nov 7th, 2014@Delectable, this is the white Barraults. I have not been having good luck with white burg lately. Not sure what's up with this bottle, but decidedly one-note, and that note is wood. Not oak, WOOD. No doubt this bottle is flawed in some (admittedly minor) way.

Sep 10th, 2014Mercurey Blanc that tastes like Roulot?!?! No joke. My #lapaulee Off Grid wine of the night.

Mar 13th, 2014Recommended by Cindy at Burgundy Wine Company as a terrific value for the price point as I start my journey on white Burgundy’s. Very round feeling in the mouth, but with a light and lingering finish. Slight citrus on the nose and supported by the vanilla notes from the oak. Off-dry with mild acidity that increases over time. Alcohol level (13.5%) is largely masked as it goes down. Very easy drinking and perfect on a rainy day.
