It hurts like Hell

[Nicklasss]

A 2005 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Vide Bourse from Fernand et Laurent Pillot, and a 2008 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Perrières from Albert Grivault, completely oxydized. I have been quite lucky with my white Bourgogne but tonight was a horrific one.

I have to admit that my wine storage conditions are not the best, but i never opened 2 bottles premoxed bottles in the same dinner. Sadly, we drank water with our seafood pasta. And my parents were here!

So i'll open all other white Bourgogne i have in the shortest time.

Condolences, Nic. Premoxed Burgs continue to be a major problem.

That's ridiculous.
That's not buying wine, that's sitting at the roulette table.
Unless the prevalence of premox is a figment of the imagination?
Some, especially in Bourgogne (and in certain corridors at HDH and other auction houses, if memory serves) say that, no?

[Rudi Finkler]

Indeed, roulette...

In the last year of I've had oxidized CA chard's and Loire whites too, ages 10 and 20ish or so.

There are few white wines I trust to age in any case - white bdx for a few bottles as its not a main feed stock for the AKR machine, and Savennieres and its ilk. That's about it. CA and blanc Rhones should just be drunk up.

Sorry for your pain, Nic. I stopped buying white Burgs (and white CduP) years ago as I wasn't willing to gamble. Fool me once...

I think I have 1 or 2 bottles of Chablis in the cellar. Thank you for the reminder to drink them up.
