  March 17, 2017 - Nice and fresh bouquet with honey-melon, almonds, starfruit and green apple. Attractive and rich on the palate with yellow and greenish fruits as melon and lemon. Excellent acidity. In a better condition than expected and remains like that on the next day.

  March 19, 2016 - Fully ready to be enjoyed and each sip. Mature fruits now giving away residual sugar which is surfing on the oily waves of ripe peach, melon, honey and a hint of nutmeg. Generous presence on the palate but not at all heavy and I would have mistaken this with a very nice Alsace, probably going for Pinot Gris, rather than other varieties. Nevertheless it went perfectly well with Onion tart as well as Foie gras terrine. Beautiful wine indeed. Cheers,

  September 29, 2015 - Honeyed gem here. Dark gold color, oily texture reminiscent of late harvest Alsace, pure and yet, complex. Good earth, good fruits and a slight residual sweetness is making this bottle as compelling as any other Macon could. A real pleasure provider at a reasonable price. We need way more of those!~ Cheers,

  October 9, 2014 - Rich nose of honey, peaches, green tea, tangerine, hazelnut vibes and almonds.
  Dry but rich and rather concentrated effort. Ripe and evolved fruit profile. Honeyed to sugary richness without sweetness. Greasy nuts to metal character. Slight liquorice, aniseed and copper. Towards the end a bit thin and bitter. Like cucumber peel but more so. Some almond to hazelnut oxidation character.
  Somewhat drinkable, but I do regret not opening this sooner. The richness isn't there anymore and there's just no way this could evolve into something more elegant.
