88 Dennis Boussey Bourogne Chardonnay (Monthelie) - This declassified Mersault had everything to please. Fully mature, deep color, classic creamy chardonnay nose, custard, bitter orange, layered and very very long. Shows what the right white can do with some age... fabulous.

Nice notes, Emery. '96 produced very light, even dilute, reds. Was it noticeably better for whites? I really do need to get more white CdP...

Hi Mark,
According to M. Gonnet it was indeed better for whites. My tastings concur, but that said it is not a stellar year. I bought very little red that year, even from my regulars, and the FdM is the only white. It remains to be seen whether the acidity will overbalance with time.
