White Burgundies
I was thinking of buying a bottle of 1996 Chassagne-Montrachet Colin-Deleger En Remilly, but then I read this article.
Something is killing the 1996 White Burgundies. When the class of ‘96 first hit the market, it was hailed as a sublime vintage, the best since 1990. Collectors snapped up case after case. But now, just as the wines should be reaching their prime, they are turning up dead on dining-room tables—the victims of premature oxidation.
See this forum for discussion on the issue. I bought a bottle of 2002 Meursault Francois Jobard En la Barre instead.
