  December 25, 2018 - A Vin Jaune is not everyone's cup of tea. But I'm a huge fan of the oxidative style of white, and I truly enjoyed this one. Nose and palate are rich with caramel, honeysuckle, citrus, seashore, pipe tobacco, and musty wine cellar. Served with the traditional Comté cheese, it was a delightful Christmas afternoon wine, one that fit the moment and a hyper-relaxed pace to the day. Loved it.

  July 2, 2014 - Oxidate nose showing muted bright almost citrus fruit. A mixed palate, very acidic, lemon fruit with a underlying minerality. Needs food for sure...

  December 31, 2013 - Notes très aromatiques et très oxydées au nez. En bouche, la texture est grasse, mais cette note oxydée domine le tout. Bon dans son genre, mais difficile de le marier à table.

  November 21, 2013 - Pale golden in colour. Strong aromas of pear and slight hints of peach. buttery and nutty on the palate, bone dry. complexity and quite long nice finish

  September 13, 2013 - Jura, Puligny Montrachet and Champagne; 9/8/2013-9/20/2013: From 37,5cl. This "Chardonnay" may indeed have a high proportion of the aforementioned grape in its blend, but I bet there is at least 15% Savignin in there and it completely dominates. Sour, acid, sharp, cutting... and not as lifted or mineral as the best blends of its kind. Nonetheless, not a bad wine, just not anywhere near what one might reasonably expect from a "Chardonnay" (even from the Jura). Hard work. 85P
