June 20, 2020 - Fathers' Day dinner at Table at 7. Bottle off the wine list.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, gold colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of straw hay, citrus lemon, pineapple, bit of almond nut. Developed.
On the palate, dry, medium acidity (flabby sensation when warmer), medium alcohol (13.5%), medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of pineapple, ripe melon, citrus lemon, honey oil, bit of almond nuttiness, and saline wet stones minerality. Medium+ finish.
Good quality. Ripe fruits and nice minerality, though clearly time to drink up. Would probably have been better 4-5 years ago.
From the Le Monsard vineyard on the south-facing slope in Mâcon-Bussières. -

June 12, 2020 - There has been some bottle variation on the case that I purchased, but the pristine bottles match my previous note. Some bottles have been more mature showing more melon and orange flavors.

January 11, 2020 - Outstanding PQR with lots of life left in it. It is the fourth bottle of case and all have shown well. A nose reminiscent of a mature Chablis 1ere with a dose of salinity and lemon-lime profile. The wine remains structured with zippy acid lending itself nicely to support the brioche finish.
