1986 White Burgundy

Rating: 8, Maturity: W

A very good vintage for White Burgundy, with large quantities of concentrated and well-structured wines being produced. Winter was unusually cold and was followed by a mild spring. Summer was hot and dry with the exception of some storms in late August and in the middle of September. Harvesting began at the end of September, with those growers who picked late producing the best wines.

The best growers have produced aromatically rich and ripe wines that possess considerable finesse and elegance. The Pulignys were particularly successful. The wines are now fully mature.
