Some white Burgundy 2014 highlights from yesterday

burgundy 2014

Some white Burgundy highlights from yesterday’s Berry Bros & Rudd tasting. Usual caveat: these are cask samples, not bottled. So treat the score as a very approximate guide. These wines are available here. 2014 is looking like a pretty amazing vintage for white Burgundy.
