November 20, 2021 - Mid yellow to brown edges, the aromas are mineral, apple, pineapple and chalk. The entry has a strident acid that creates an initial illusion of tension, but the wine is evolved with white pepper, bruised apple and pineapple in a light syrup. Should have drunk ages ago, my bad.

September 22, 2020 - Mid yellow with bronze tints.
A slightly evolved nose of lemon honey, dried peach, orchard fruit going to apple bins in a cool room (where there is a little bit of bruised)
Bright, refreshing acidity on the entry that lead to a phenolic grip and lemon peel pithyness. However, the mid-palate becomes a little rounder and less precise (warmer southern Burgundy?) before developing ripe apple, honey, and mebos (pulped apricot with a touch of salt). Medium in length, this is better than I expected at this age, although there is a hint of almond on the back palate suggesting some evolution. -

June 5, 2016 - Great QPR, nice balance, great adidity and some minerals on the finish. Nice round aorchard fruits.

November 27, 2015 - A simple wine, with a very slight oxidized touch.... nice fruit, short finish, not enough mineral or zing on the finish to make is special.

July 20, 2015 - (at La Regalade - Paris) Very nice, all purpose white. Enough heft to stand up to full flavored dishes without being the slightest bit heavy. Good everyday drinker. (87)
