April 6, 2024 - Zero expectations here, and I am now on the hunt for more. Absolutely killer and (evidently) a wonderful QPR.
Didn’t know what type of profile to expect here, but I (incorrectly) assumed it would be somewhere in the middle and while pleasant enough, nothing to write home about. What I found was a wine that reminds me an awful lot of Domaine de la Bongran’s EJ Thevnet (all time favorite of mine), yet dialed back just a touch. Light gold in the glass, big aromatics of ripe peach, yellow fruits, and a dash of baking spice. Texturally is leans bigger, but the finish snaps back with great acidity. Lemon cream, golden raspberries, limestone and a vibrant finish. Whereas the Bongran has a touch of sweetness, this has more of a small perception of sweetness. Loved it.1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 6, 2023 - This is a delicious Chardonnay from Burgundy. Creamy and fat.
Dry on the palate with medium plus acidity.
Full bodied and smooth.
Showing citrus, lemons, apples, pears, light earth, herbs, minerals and spices.
Tangy finish with limes and spices.
This 5 year old is showing nice complexity. Well balanced, really easy to drink, and enjoyable by itself. Better after 30 minutes of airtime.
Will continue to age nicely in the next few years.
Aged in 70% French oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$50.
