  January 4, 2017 - Very nice. Has aromas of tangerine and lime. Honey flavor with a touch of earthiness. Somebody described it in another review as gravely. The bottle was a bit old but I did not taste any signs of this.

  May 17, 2016 - PnP at Chez Panisse. Simple drinking; crisp but nothing significant to write about.

  December 6, 2015 - * Nose: A quite "creamy" nose with honey, buttery & smoky oak, sweet lemon and chalky minerality.
  * Taste: Mature fruit, well integrated oak. Not very complex but very harmonious, balanced and impressively rich for a Bourgogne Blanc!
  * Absolutely mature now and I would not recommend further cellaring.

  August 2, 2015 - Hint of gravel to start, very long indeed. Through citrus ending with honeyed melon and white peach. Delicious.

  December 23, 2014 - Hokkaido Supper at Kat and Yuwen's (Kat and Yuwen's): I had quite forgotten having had this some two-and-a-half years ago. Served blind again, I was once again knocked over by this wine - it is a superb little Bourgogne, punching way above its class. It had a lovely nose of ripe apples and white peach, some chalky aromas, and nicely lifted spice and floral accents. Very nice and quite complex - certainly not a bouquet one would expect from a wine at this level. The palate was a lovely drink too. It had a nice white fruited depth edged by sweeter stone-fruit shades, an nice chalky mineral counterpoint and good, fresh finish with a blush of spice at the end, all held together with a nice freshness that was very surprising for a 2005 white. This was not super complex, but it was certainly not a simple, facile wine either. It has lost some of its sunny fruit that I liked so much in the last bottle, but there is still a lot to like here. Given the balance and feel of the wine, I do not think it is at any risk of going downhill soon either. A great Bourgogne Blanc, drinking nicely at the moment.
