Obviously, all of us who love white Burgundies are horrified by what has happened to their ability to age over the past 20 years. Every year Don’s tasting bring home to us the fact that the issue has not been solved. Not even close.
I see two possible strategies for buying white Burgs today. One, buy less expensive wines that taste good young and drink them young. There are a lot of producers that make excellent wines to buy young, like Dublere, PYCM, Drouhin, etc., etc.
Focus on a relatively few producers whose wines seem to be doing ok. I am thinking of PYCM, Bouchard, Bernard Moreau (really came up with this outside Don’s tastings). Anyone else. Sure, I could add Coche Dury and Raveneau, but these are really hard to find and very expensive (at least in the US).
A third limited thing I have done on a limited basis is try pre-1995 wines. I have had great success in this with wines from Domaine Robert Ampeau (interestingly, I have not tasted or even seen whites from Ampeau from 1995 forward, have any of you guys). More mixed with wines from Fabian Coche.
What are you guys doing?
