Amiot-Servelle produces fruity wines in which balance and elegance prevail, and this 2010 vintage is no exception. Fresh and nicely aromatic. Expressive aromas of white flowers, brioche, hazelnut and a hint of vanilla. Nice amplitude in the mouth, with a lovely intensity of white flowers, hazelnut, pear and vanilla. Elegant and refined, this Bourgogne blanc offers a harmonious balance, a hint of minerality and a very pleasant finish.

From the walled vineyard right in front of the Château inside the village of Puligny-Montrachet, this over-achieving Bourgogne Blanc is stellar year in and year out. It definitely shows the floral and mineral notes in the nose that make the village famous. Good length and buttery, citrus fruit make this a great wine at any price, but this "little" wine from an estate with an embarrassing array of riches can stand up to the best of them.

A full-bodied and ageworthy White Burgundy with notes of roasted almond, vanilla and fresh fig.
Clive Coates (The Wines of Burgundy): "Claude Chevalier, tall, handsome and in his fifties now, is in charge here; father Georges, who first started bottling in 1959, retired some 10 years ago. Since 2000 there have been a number of changes for the better here. Yields have been reduced, and the wines are altogether more sophisticated. This is one of the best addresses in the village (of Ladoix)."

Not yet reviewed; 2009 vintage rated 88 points by Fine Wine Review: "We start with the Bourgogne-Aligoté, bottled just prior to harvest. Yields were just 35 hl/ha -- remarkably low for a regional wine in this vintage. Vines are more than 80 years old and mostly raisin doré, the old strain of Aligoté that generally produces superior results. The wine is round and ripe with excellent minerality, silky in texture, long and pure with finesse that is unusual in Aligoté."

Importer notes: "Les Crenilles dates to 1802 and is found in Pommard. Now, as there is no white wine allowed with the name Pommard under the appellation controlée rules, you have here a one of a kind beauty. Pommard's soil has a very high percentage of active limestone making it remarkably similar to the clays found in the Cote de Nuits. The wine is beautiful in the glass- golden yellow, generous in glycerin, yet totally dry fermented. No malolactic keeps that coveted acidity in full force. No oak here, just a gorgeous song of minerality accompanied by whispers of rich citrus and fresh almonds and hazelnut."

Producer notes: "[$50 list] Brilliant golden in color, the nose on this wine is sophisticated and elegant with aromas of hazelnuts, white flowers (hawthorn) and subtle oak tones. A powerful nose reveals delicate aromas of oak and lemon. The wine is well-balanced with a nice acidity. The finish is persistent, slightly tannic and complemented by sweet aromas of licorice."

This Meursault from organic/biodynamic producer Antoine Petitprez is actually entirely from the lieu dit of "Les Tillets", a lovely site high on the hill above the Premier Cru Bouchères. Contrary to the roundness typical from Meurault, here a more fine minerality is evident. It has notes of tangerine and lime blossoms and a combination of richness and minerality, and kissed with a touch of oak. Only 58 cases produced.
To say that Antoine Petitprez is committed to natural handmade wine is putting it mildly. During his education he was responsible for a research program on the moon's effects on wines and vines. He created an association with the likes of Meo Camuzet, Domaine JJ Confuron, Alain Meunier, Liger Bel Air, Bruno Clavelier, and Domaine Dujac to repeat experimentations in the vineyards and in the cellar. He’s part of a new generation in Burgundy, taking the best of tradition, soil, and winemaking to tell a story of where the wines were made. Antoine consults for growers in organic farming, and in return they agree to sell him grapes. This has given him the opportunity to aquire great fruit contracts with his growers, working with them on their vineyard practices all the way through to harvest. His philosophy is to 'express the terroir and respect the vintage'. The first vintage of Uliz was 2008, which produced 1,200 cases from small lots of old vine fruit, all of which were organically or biodynamically farmed. Before beginning Uliz, he worked first in Chablis, then Domaine Malivoire in Canada, Domaine de L’Arlot in Nuits St Georges in Burgundy, and a vintage at Turley Wine Cellars in California. He sells 85% of his wine in France, of which 50% is sold to 1 & 2 star Michelin restaurants.

Allen Meadows (Burghound): "This is sufficiently reduced that the nose is not easily evaluated save for the presence of a touch of wood toast but the middle weight flavors also possess an attractive texture with good intensity before culminating in a linear finish that is, in the context of the vintage, relatively dry. Drink: 2011+. (Oct 2010)"
