Impeccable. Balanced, good acidity, fruit and nutty. I do not think it will improve, but what a great performance as a Montagny. Almost incredible p/q performance.

After this nearly perfect bottle (see my pervious notes) I will start tasting a full dozen of the '12. This one was so crystalline; a top Puligny without the almonds.

Why not 92 point, if you can not detect a failure? This wine has a very pure perfume, very ripe acidity and a sublime balance. What else can you demand!?

At this stage of development the nose is a bit confused and the taste shy, but after some hours of aeration the wine shows some of its future. I think the wine has the capacity to equal the 2009, but it will take at least some months, so I'll wait with retasting.

Lovely ripe and fruity Chardonnay, attractive hint of oak, good weight and nice freshness but lacks some cut from the minerality; good length. Nice wine.

What a fantastic effort. This 13 years Montagny was completely alive, fruit, butter, nuts, round and sufficient acidity.

Again, remarkable quality: apart from the fruit, hazelnut and freshness demonstrate the high-class. One of my favorite price-quality wines.

And again superb; the minerality of this wine is top!

Just a little bit nicer than the '11. Great value for a wonderful Burgundy.

Nicely floral seashell nose; flavoury, a bit simple but good and inexpensive. 87-89.
