In really good vintages, their White Bourgogne’s never disappoint. 2022 the rule, not the exception.
Earlier notes, still apply. Green apple, lime pulp/zest, Meyer lemon, tropical melons, heather-honey delight.

Outstanding producer and another 2022 that doesn’t disappoint.
Beautiful viscosity, lush, heather honey, lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple, white stone fruit, tropical melons, saline/sea spray, white spice, moist, chalky powder, limestone, butterscotch toffee, caramel, excellent acidity and round, lush, very balanced, elegant finish that last two-minutes and lands on spice and soft minerality.
Worth every bit of the $49 I paid and then some.

Lemon, almond oil, great minerality.

Jan 25th, 2025The 22 Burgundies are as good as advertised. Maybe, better.
Time in the bottle will tame the lemon in this bottle. It needs it.
Green & golden apple, Meyer lemon to chiffon, lime pulp, overripe pineapple juice, white stone fruits, tropical melons, cream, saline, sea fossils, chalky pulp, limestone pulp, light caramel notes, honeycomb, cream, spring flowers, excellent viscosity & round acidity, elegance, round lush balanced finish that lasts a full minute. Even better in 3-5 years. One of the best Bourgogne’s I’ve had to date.
Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🎁 ❄️ ⛄️

Perfumed, candied citrus essence hooked up to a 9V battery.
This was opened and then left in the fridge and slowly consumed- and fully at its best after 2 weeks.
Really delicious, justifiably pricey Bourgogne Blanc.

PYCM still one of my favorite producers, even this Bourgogne is just terrific. But like all Burgs the price point keeps going up …

Popped and poured; enjoyed over an hour period. The PCYM “Bourgogne” Blanc pours a straw color with medium viscosity and no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of underripe pineapple, lemons, star fruit, and a mix of limestone and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. The finish is long and has chalky minerals. Honestly, this reminds me a lot of the 2021 Pierre Brisset “Cuvée Cassaneas” I had a couple of weeks back however the Brisset showed just a bit more focus and concentration. A really lovely “Bourgogne” and a delicious pairing with roasted chicken. Drink now through 2031.

Very mineral and gravelly on the nose. Wonderful intensity for a Village While Burgundy. Ripe grapefruit with cleansing acidity. I’m glad I waited 7 years to have the first one. Quite impressive. Had a 2nd bottle 30 weeks later on 16th September 2023 with similar notes. Aromas of white flowers. Very mineral on nose (stony) and palate. Lemon and other citrus. Like the body, leanness and acid of a Chablis.

Feb 6th, 2022Just concluded the annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again.
(Notes this year were avoided, but scores are honest.)
