What reviewers say
“Ganske sterk gulfarge, uten noe brunt, mørk gul med grønt i, lissom. Glatt og mjuk og deilig i munnen, uten å være særlig oljete. Aroma av røyk og frukt, grilla sitron. Smør? Ikke mye. Mer grønt! Bedre alene enn til asparges, salami og ananas. Tror ananasen ødelegger munnen litt og gjør vinen syreskarp og ubehagelig. Hvit burgunder er deilig, men denne er ikke av de flotteste, inbiller meg at jeg kjenner dét. Sikkert for fersk også. Den er litt forsiktig... smoke apple lemon oak grass”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This wine is pale green-gold in colour. Nose: The nose is redolent of mineral aromas. Palate: It is lively yet round on the palate with flavours of white-fleshed fruit and a subtle hint of oak.

A broader pool of 699 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Bouchard Aîné & Fils Chardonnay Bourgogne lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · France (7,336 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 677.
