March 2, 2024 - PnP. Absolutely stunning from the get go, creamy marsipan on the nose, stone fruits and great acid profile. Continued to fill out with air and get more integrated. This bottle was much better than the last, disappointing one. I can see this continuing to improve, but right now it's in the zone.
November 14, 2023 - Pop and pour. A big and unctuous wine. One taster commented there was noticeable oak. Notes of ripe citrus with hints of Meursault minerals. A baby at the moment and perhaps the diam cork slows its maturation. Hold these and hope further development sheds some the fat and integrates the oak.
August 17, 2023 - Light gold
Buttered almonds and pear essence.
This is really starting to come around and lovely.
June 20, 2023 - (Blind tasting)
Full and rich nose. Yellow orchard fruit and gently oaky. Hints of butterscotch and mineral. Good depth and complexity.
Medium-fullish, fullish palate with good grip and freshness. Balanced and oaky. Some development. Yellow orchard fruit and mineral hints. Good complexity, but a lacking a bit in complexity and depth.
February 7, 2023 - CDT tasting: White WOTN. Huge nose of flint, mineral, petrol, pear and wood. Same on palate and such a long finish. Really enjoyed this wine. However, did seem to lose some of its steam over the drinking window (roughly an hour). With out this a solid 95, but 93 is probably fair.
May 26, 2022 - Popped and poured. Brilliant, delicate yellow gold color with fat, oily legs. Excellent pretty nose with grilled nuts and limestone and pear. Even a touch of mint. Gentle, pretty fruit in the mouth, has a light touch but nice flavor. I'm happy. 5-12-16-8: 90/100.
April 18, 2022 - Good purity. Lemony, mineral laced fruit with chalk and oyster shells. But also rounded, not edgy, with a light hit of popcorn and other malo elements.
February 2, 2022 - Under diam. Popped and poured. Fragrant nose with notes of sea breeze and hints of flowers. Creamy on the palate which compliments the characteristic crisp acids of the vintage. Notes of citrus, mineral, and stone fruit on the palate. Served alongside the H. Boillot version. Both were quite good with the Bouchard being slightly more generous.
January 24, 2022 - C’est très bon mais l’acidité s’est atténuée depuis la dernière bouteille bue et le vin en perd un peu en équilibre, paraissant un peu plus boisé et rond.
October 19, 2021 - This bottle was loaded with oak and not nearly as integrated as the last. Will hold the rest for a few more years.
