Vinous
Bright palish yellow; remarkably fresh for a 15-year-old white Burgundy. Knockout high-pitched perfume combines grapefruit, pineapple, ginger, quinine and a sexy touch of reduction (!). Wonderful precision and energy to its rather cool flavors of citrus zest, white peach, crushed rock and crushed herbs. A Chablis of modest body but not at all lean or meager. Finishes with explosive aromatic lift and outstanding mineral verve. This is still a baby and should go on for at least another 15 years. In fact, I doubt anyone would guess the age of this remarkably youthful wine, which was made from a crop level of 60 hectoliters per hectare, according to Isabelle Raveneau. She added, Dad didn't keep much of this because it was hard and thin and acidic early. Dad made a mistake. (production was a full 60 hectoliters per hectare)Stephen Tanzer1st August 2019
