Costing just $8 back then, the 1975 Moillard Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanee, with 12.5% alcohol, scored 18+ points on the Dionysian Scale out of a possible 20. Gold medal.
I always suggest drinking white Burgundy from five years old and up to twenty, if well stored. But this 42 year-old example showed mineral and floral notes laced with hints of honey, caramel and some smoky aromas. It was quite an experience. and well worth the wait.
In Vino Veritas.
