Kirk, you got a decent bottle for payment! I am not familiar with Castets, but the producer makes luscious white burgundies, more equivalent to Puligny's or Mersault's in quality than to other outlying wines of the Macon. Had a bottle of one of his vineyard sites late last year and it is drinking well right now, could probably age for another 2-3 years, beyond that I wouldn;t want to gamble as this is not Chablis (of course, many Chablis are not Chablis these days either, but I digress)
