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

Not quite as energetic as the red version in 2010. But impressive oak integration. Elegantly crafted.

A 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.

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

@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.

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

Recommended 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.

Unusually high acidity, clean and bright oak, very good but wish it had little more subtlety.
