Outstanding QPR. Very tasty. Balanced, opulent and focused. Darker yellow color than expected. Nose is unremarkable. There is a tendency to describe other fruits in tasting notes. Usually that helps to define the wine. This wine certainly has pineapple on the back end and invites some more imagination. But, mostly, it tastes of….wait for it…grapes. Yummy delicious, peeled grapes. Full and redolent. Chablis but with lower acid. Food friendly. In fact, much better with food (we had fish). Not a revelation, just a solid, enjoyable glass of wine. Recommended.

Consistent with previous notes this past April. This wine punches way above its class. Very Chablis-like, but also now developing some unique butterscotch and honey notes on the finish. Drink 2020-2024. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 92.

Opened and paired with egg and ham quiche and mixed salad. Pale straw color with green tint. Muted nose of gooseberries and honey. The palate drinks like a Chablis, ultra-dry, with medium body, orange and yellow fruit, toast, soda water, and loads of minerality into the finish. Drink 2020-2024. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 92.

Une pointe de bois désagréable, et une belle finale crayeuse et saline, c'est le duo de choc frustrant! Car le terroir semble propice a l'élaboration d'un joli blanc salivant, élégant, sans lourdeur (malgré une certaine maturité et une petite chaleur -la puissance de Chassagne?-), mais personnellement, la perception de l'élevage est trop prononcée et oblitère la pureté initilale d'un jus prometteur (chardonnay patissier, amande, frangipane, poivre blanc et fleurs blanches) 87/88

Improved from the previous bottle, probably a different food pairing

Was better as it warmed up from the fridge, but not interesting

A modest bouquet, nice but a bit alcoholic in the finish.
