December 29, 2023 - Vivement recommandé par mes amis de chez Bossetti, et, ma foi, aucune déception ! ... comme dab.
PnP
Bouchon entièrement humide y compris face supérieure, et sortant un peu facilement à mon goût. Pour autant, bon niveau, pas de traces de coulure - mais c'est du blanc.
Jaune limpide tendant au doré.
Nez assez ouvert, tutti frutti (pomme, poire et agrumes légers), minéralité bien présente
En bouche, une douceur surprenante - sucre résiduel, sans excès - puis l'acidité apparaît et prend le dessus après quelques secondes pour mener la danse dans une longue finale. Un peu d'éthéré, un peu de rancio viennent enrichir la farandole des parfums (la rétro-olfaction donne de grandes satisfactions) mais c'est la pomme qui mène le bal jusqu'au delà de minuit.
Tres bon rapport qualité-prix pour un bourgogne. Je pense que ce vin aérien et joyeux peut encore tenir 10 ans dans de bonnes conditions de conservation. Mais je pense que je n'en ai plus...
Je le verrais volontiers sur tout crustacé ou poisson en sauce, beurre blanc ou autre.
November 1, 2014 - Oh that was simply lovely. Gold yellow color, beautiful aromas of lemon custard, flowers, and caramelized lemon peel. On the palate very smooth, even oily and slightly saline as well. It offers plenty of flavors of honey, citrus, bitter orange skin(which I love) as well as marmelade, slight anise, cloves with plenty of wet stone mineral ish~ and not at all 'over cooked' like I had feared. Enough freshness to lift up the back end with pleasant acidity well present in the bottle. As I am swirling this wine on my palate, I wonder if a leisurely surfing would feel this pleasant as I am being wrapped up by this waves and waves of aromas, flavors and making me not swallow so fast... This is not a light weight, but compare to some of the Californian Chardonnay, it may seem airy even. Very nice and ready to be enjoyed. Cheers,

March 29, 2013 - Surprisingly youthful colour, just beginning to deepen. The nose had great drive and offers red apple, oatbran and fresh cobnuts. In the mouth no shortage of acidity, a little ressidual sugar plumps it up. Lively and fine but with a slight lack of pithiness. What a revelation!
June 25, 2011 - Paille fonce, reflets or. Gras
Nez: caramel ecossais faisant rapidement place a du beurre et de la mineralite, puis du citron et grenadilla.
Bouche: Corps rond, acidite juste assez presente pour conserver la fraicheur du vin. Finale longue beurre-citron-grenadilla.
November 25, 2010 - Had this w/family over Thanksgiving dinner. Golden yellow hue. Let breathe for 15-30 min. & tried it w/Vinturi (took off the bite from alc. content/edginess), and served chilled. Recaled Granny Smith apple aromas & flavors.
June 27, 2010 - Pale gold. Nose of scottish toffee, Granny Smith apples, pineapple.
Acidity seems to be lacking, because you don't feel it on the attack. Give it a second or two, and you feel it.
July 14, 2009 - Medium-dark gold. A little spicy with gentle, lightly honeyed sweetness. Smoky. A little bitter in the finish. Probably perfect now and although I found it good the first time I tried it about a year ago, it's showing much better now. Very good.
June 6, 2009 - Medium yellow color. Ripe nose with peaches, yellow plums and herbs. On the palate it appears rich and almost chubby, while lacking the acidity to balance the borderline overpowering fruit, peaches and plums. Slightly hot on the finish.
March 10, 2009 - Martine's Wines Portfolio tasting (MK, Chicago IL): nose: nice balanced nose of pears, peaches, and bits of green apples. decent depth with a bit of ripeness to the tones
taste: good medium feel with lowish acidity. Good balanced tones of pears, peaches, green apples and bits of citrus'
overall: a nice wine that is fully ready to go. Not a whole lot of depth or acidity, but still retains a burgundian sense with some ripeness to it
