most of the people i know will not now buy any lay down white burgs. i have not seen an explanation as to why this stuff turned to ..... i am drinking a 97 catania chard and drink some select CA 96-97 chards that are just fine. they are aging through. the 96 white burg was dead dead by 2001. i have Jean Marc Boillot Puligny Montrachets. and some other guy's Meursault. |
I've had better luck than most on the white burgs, but still have had my fair share of prematurely oxidized stuff. Sadly, I've had my worst luck with grand crus, especially 96s.
There is a pretty good wiki on this: http://oxidised-burgs.wikispaces.com/ in which people share their notes. |

You're quite wrong I'm afraid. We'll drink anything as long as it's wet and gets us mullahed in double-quick time. |

"We started with a delicious, still young and vibrant 1996 Taittinger Comte de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. That was followed by a slightly evolved, golden-colored 1999 Bouchard Montrachet. I just don’t understand why people keep buying all these white Burgundies with seemingly only those from Domaine Leflaive and Coche-Dury being free of oxidation. It is truly one of the biggest scandals in the wine world. I have stopped buying all my favorite white Burgundy producers, including Domaine Leflaive and Coche-Dury, but there it is just a question of the prices being too ridiculous, and I am not in the mood to pay them." I wish this premox issue was addressed more head on by the Domaine's in Burgundy - but it seems like people are still content paying obnoxious amounts of money for wine that seemingly has a 5-10 year MAX aging potential (and that might even be a stretch these days). |
