I’m copying in all three posts that provide Bordeaux-style five-tier rankings for white burgundy producers. Surprising (maybe not?) degree of coincidence. I’ve highlighted in bold divergences, probably missed some. Others should feel free to point out others and I will try to fix. Thanks to all those who have contributed these detailed evaluations. Great resource!
