In contrast to the Pouilly-Fuissé, the reduction is sufficiently prominent that I would advise decanting this first. Otherwise there is excellent concentration to the sappy and palate coating flavors that possess a lovely texture that extends to the solidly complex and sneaky long finish.

The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Du Château Blanc inexplicably did not finish its malolactic until June or July. It has a tightly wound, slightly resinous bouquet. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, crisp acidity, quite minerally in the mouth with a brisk, slightly oaky finish that lingers. What a lovely white Burgundy! Score: 88 - 90 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2018-2024 29 December 2017 |

(from a crop level between 18 and 20 hectoliters per hectare): Very cloudy pale yellow. Aromas of lemon zest and spices, plus a distinctive peppery minerality and some subtle fermentation notes. A supple, very dry midweight with lovely acidity framing its lively core of peppery white peach and lemon fruit. The juicy, slightly phenolic finish shows decent length and good grip and lift. Weber says this wine is not yet showing its "true expression." Score: 87 - 89 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 September 2017 |
