March 11, 2011 - Notes of lemon drops, honeysuckle and butter. This is big, rich, shapely Chablis that is low on acid but big on volume and flavour. Certainly a wine that was enjoyed around the table but lacked the cut and thrust that I look for in Chablis.

July 7, 2010 - Fleurs fraiches, citroné, herbe coupée, poivre blanc, amandes.. Très mineral et vif, mais un peu gras aussi, long en bouche, acidité parfaite, parfait à boire maintenant.

June 5, 2010 - Dujac City - Burgundy Fest (Waterford Wine Co. Tasting Room): Flinty nose. Taking on some mature fruit notes of ripe red apples. Almonds and peach jam. Rich, almost tropical fruit notes.
Butterscotch flavors on the palate. Rich apple fruit, but still run through with solid minerality. Get a bit of white pepper on the finish.
Drinking really well right now. -

June 5, 2010 - People were initally feeling that the nose was flat, dull. But the palate was fresh, intense and joyful. To me: a bit more butterscotch than I like on the nose. The palate is joyful, delicious. Worth thinking.

November 22, 2008 - Like Ben says, there is caramel on the nose. I also get some nuttiness and hints of mineral. A rich, almost velvety mouthfeel. Minerals and lemon zest. Just a hint of creaminess. I like this wine a lot.
