cheap LL is a nice everyday wine.

the 95-96-97-98 whites from jm boillot, henri boillot, morey,fevre,moreau,sauzet all had problems. i live in the dc area, and the problem was pretty well known and appeared in the wine press(even parker mentioned it somewhere along the line).

i agree it was mishandled or poor to start with. just that $50-80 wines are not supposed to be poor, or mishandled. since it was over so many years, and so many names. it was dead by 2000(tasted something like severely maderized, but different), and i have not purchased any white burgundy since. i bought it upon release to usa.

i don't think you can blame my storage area. i have over 200 cases, many of which date back to the early 80's. i loose very few.
