I handled a traffic ticket for a friend and knowing my love of wine, he
presented me with this selection as payment (I refused to charge him my
normal fee thus the wine as remuneration). I bet it's a great Burgundy but
can't find much info on it.... any assistance?

Kirk, you got a decent bottle for payment! I am not familiar with Castets,
but the producer makes luscious white burgundies, more equivalent to
Puligny's or Mersault's in quality than to other outlying wines of the
Macon. Had a bottle of one of his vineyard sites late last year and it is
drinking well right now, could probably age for another 2-3 years, beyond
that I wouldn;t want to gamble as this is not Chablis (of course, many
Chablis are not Chablis these days either, but I digress)
