January 15, 2017 - Frisk och läskande med citrus (citronskal och grapefruktjuice), lite brynt smör och rätt mycket mineral. Gott som apéritif och till en stekt plattfisk eller gräddig fiskgryta.

January 18, 2015 - Sleek and racy, this light yellow white Burgundy offers aromas of citrus, pears, spice and dried herbs. Light-to-medium-bodied, seamlessly alcoholic (13%) and with flavors mirroring the nose, it holds nicely in the middle. Finishing with medium length and an underlying mineral element, this is yet another example of how the Côte Chalonnaise delivers bang for the buck, even from an appellation that is best known for its reds. Drink now-2018.

August 31, 2014 - Impressive for the area code and excellent value. Lemon oil and lemon candy with very lively acidity. Also a bit of green apples, wood, nuttiness and spices. Quite tart on the finish.

July 26, 2014 - Faiveley white tasting: Compared to the basic Mercurey from the same vintage this was more complex, particulary on the nose. Similarly oily and rather inexpressive palate and modest finish. 88-89

June 27, 2014 - Tasting at Domaine Faiveley; 6/27/2014-6/28/2014: From a 5 ha monopole in the Côte Chalonnaise, this wine sees 20% new oak. Colour light lemon. Nutty notes on the nose, with some oak. Rich with peach and spice flavours on entry, good structure and balance. Good precision and length. Finishes on some spicy oak. A nice, straightforward wine.
