March 29, 2024 - PnP. Under natural cork. Over two nights. Light-to-medium gold colour. The nose is well-developed showing notes of honeycomb, lush white peach, bruised apple, a touch of vanilla. Medium-bodied with good weight and intensity. While being sort of «fleshy» in style, it has right acidity to balance rich fruit on the palate and lead to a nice mineral finish. Very delicious white burg. Can easily age a few more years but it’s drinking so well now.

March 11, 2023 - Насыщенный желтый цвет. В аромате садовые цветы, медовая дыня, персик, мандарин, мёд, нежные сливки, чуть ваниль, крем, цедра, чуть орех и жаренные семечки. Во вкусе относительно плотное, сливочное, кислотность выше среднего. 91/100

March 23, 2022 - Symphonie Mâconnaise - Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Palais des Congrès - Beaune): Walk around tasting. Big step up. LArger scaled apple and pear, seemingly with an old vine density. Persistent and nicely long finish. Good 2022-2028.
