Phenolic character. Fortunately not marked by the vintage. Still not classic Bourgogne nose or palate, and not complex. These are not really criticisms just observations, and am glad I bought it. Tasty and a crowd pleaser.

Same as previous: Energetic with strong lemony core of fine fruit. Length and delicious finish. Lean rather than broad. Good precision. Drinks well above level.

A: Medium lemon N: Yeast, lemon, what i thought was some honey was actually light vanilla, phenolic bitterness, stonefruit. The yeast seemed overbearing here which rather hid the wet stone. Medium (+) nose P: Dry, medium (+) acidity, phenolic bitterness, alcohol felt high but was only medium (13%), full body, medium (+) intensity and finish. C: Drink now. Its a pretty neutral wine.
GUESSES: Warm climate as i thought the alcohol was high. New world owing to the style and the fact, i could barely detect the wet stone. Guessed the grape was an odd pinot gris or viognier. There was stone fruit here.
MISTAKES: Oh so many! The phenolic bitterness was definitely there. It might have been derived from the barrel. It completely confused me, add to that the crazy amounts of yeast and this could have been a PG. However, thinking about it stale beer rather than yeast is what I find at the end of a glass of PG. The yeast aroma may have been caused by battonage but I would associate that practice with pricier burgundies. Don’t know if it was a great example of a burgundy and at WSET 4 level, we are not tested on Borgogne Blanc, thankfully. I wonder why there was such a burn to the throat on this one when the alcohol was merely medium.

clear, intense lemon colour; chiny; excellent. nose: apples, some honey notes; hay. taste: medium acidity; sweet grapes, butter, vanilla, caramel - but everything delicate and elegant; medium length finish of apples and toffie. Superb balance. Very elegant.

Vin doré pâle et clair. Nez discret de vanille. Chardonnay délicat et doux. Le problème est dans ce dernier adjectif. La tonalité générale de ce vin peut se résumer en un mot: molasson.
Ce 2015 est clairement en déficit d'acidité, une caractéristique qui se répète inlassablement dans ce millésime (en blanc). Ce manque de fraîcheur fait, par surcroît, ressortir un fond sulfureux en finale.
Je veux bien croire que ces vignes sont destinées à porter l'étiquette de Puligny-Montrachet dans l'avenir, mais dans cette incarnation , ce vin est décevant et n'arrive même pas à la cheville de génériques vendus 25% moins cher.

(Pas de note) Couleur claire, note subtile de pomme verte. Je ne sens pas trop le millésime plus chaud, c’est pas trop boisé non plus. Le vin est délicat et fin, mais pas des plus puissants ni complexe. En rapport avec le prix, je suis très satisfait du produit QPR!

Nez timide, mais c'est en bouche que ça se passe: c'est fin, minéral, ciselé, avec une finale sur une belle tension. Bref, un vin sur la délicatesse de texture plutôt que la puissance, bon RQP pour la région. 88

Good balance between fresh fruit and subtle buttery oak notes. Not particularly sharp or mineral, but everything is in balance. Very nice for a simple Bourgogne AOC bottling.

Nariz cítrica y floral. Algo de mantequilla y madera. Expresividad y complejidad media. Acidez y frescura elevada. Muy vertical y directo. Muy bueno para ser el precio. Good value for the price.

13.0% - Clear, med- lemon with some gold reflection / clean, med intensity citrus, lemon custard, pear, orchard fruit, fresh butter, white flower/ dry, med acidity, med body, med intensity but with a rather persistent finish, superb texture.
Compared to my last TN, different bottle different wine... Still not the most expressive, but texture wise, this one was beautiful. Felt like ripe orchard fruit wrapped in a velvety custard. I have to say that it kind of grew on me... 89(+)

13.0% - Clear, med to pale & light lemon / clean, med intensity - green apple, lemon, lightly floral, kiss of oak, mineral / dry, med+ acidity, med to light body, med intensity and length. Well balanced, but was hoping for more intensity and/or length.
More Young Burgundy (K&L Wines, San Francisco): Yellow. Orange and floral notes. Light to medium weight, some toasty oak. Round, lower acidity, low pitched citrus fruit, woody finish. Too much cooperage for this wine.
