floral, herbal and so pretty, wow the nose is so insane, so refined and elegant, concentrated and so juicy but a little grippy and in need of time. awesome sap and purity. Long limestone finish and so pretty. Exceptional. — 2 years ago

Hazelnut, hickory smoke and so much density, floral, iodine, palate is so chewy and dense. Wow acids and complexity are insane and very juicy. Insane finish and so so bright and high toned. — 2 years ago

Family-owned and operated started in 1999 by Dr John and Karen Bergstrom. Medium Ruby with fresh ripe berry fruit flavors, tea and floral spice notes. On the palate, cherry, cranberry and raspberry flavors with complex herb and orange citrus notes. Fine tannins on long finish ending with slight citrus character. Drink now while it’s fresh, will benefit from short-term aging. I like ‘17 better than ‘16. — 5 years ago

"Mahi is long enough for real substance without that awful syrupy quality so common in other whites. There's a note in there that some describe is funk, but we'd call grassy." According to Karen MacNeil "New Zealand Sauvignon blancs have no parallel in the world." — 5 years ago

Naked wines. Really liked it, full bodied and very fruity. Perfect with steak. Not particularly complex but solid to our big red palate — 6 years ago

Been 3 years. Nose is wide open. Sappy red and black cherries and a firm Pommard stoniness. Floral, meaty and layered. Really aromatic and nice. Heaps better than 3 years ago. Palate has high acid, ripe and juicy but firm tannins, dark black cherry fruit but needs air as 16 has mega low yields and many serious wines. This being one of them. Nose picking up some nice earthy complexity. Really chewy and dense with just exhilarating and confectionary fruit. Needs air but a solid 9.3 now. — 2 years ago

Spicey oak on the nose, airy and mineral, floral, green apple, wow, zany florals, wonderful, concentrated and sappy, dense and rich only from 3 year old vines. Stunning depth and purity. Above Meursault, left of Volnay. — 2 years ago

Nose is very saline. Some hazelnuts.

Palate is rich. No longer oaky (integrated) but it’s not bashful. Lovely salinity. Very Good balance for a rich wine.


I need to have this with chicken with cream sauce and morels.


This is ready to drink.

Complex nose, spicey oak, green apple, gorgeous minerality, terrific spice, amazing deep minerality and a stunning expansiveness. Really wonderful white burgundy symphony on the nose. Just unreal. What a nose. Tree bark, dry soil. Just stunning. Wow. Juicy, energetic, luscious, fresh, vital, elegant, complex. Wow. What a wine. Just gorgeous. Maybe best Monthelie Blanc I’ve ever had from Boussey. Explosive and wonderful. Spicey as well. A brilliant bottle. Finish is epic. — 4 years ago
