Had another bottle of this tonight. Seems to have picked up steam, and a streak of lemon. Really drinking well; I didn't even for a second regret placing that bottle of Corton-Charlemagne back on the shelf.

Great match with both courses: fresh cranberry beans with sauteed garlic, olive oil, yuzu juice, and black pepper; and matsutake rice with sauteed chanterelles and matsutakes. Was a rich enough wine to stand up to more substantial food, but I don't think it would have matched my alternative dinner plan involving chanterelles in cream sauce.
 
Thanks; haven't seen many notes on the IdV blanc. Have you tried, say, Bize's Savigny les Beaune aux Vergelesses blanc? I wonder how these two wines would compare.
 
I've had a lot of Savigny blanc, but never from aux Vergelesses. The Briailles Ile-de-V blanc is a tauter, more mineral wine than most Savigny blanc.
