Golden straw colour. Noise shows Mellon, Apple, butter and a little bit of minerality. Also, unfortunately, some sign off oxidisation. The palate shows round frit and butter, but a little volatile acidity. Maybe left this a little long. Enjoyable though, but buttery chards are my guilty pleasure.

I was looking for a big chardonnay and got it. Oak, butter but unfortunately too much sweetness on the palate. Enjoyable, but I guess I asked for a bit too much at this price.

Very good. Very noticeable, searing acidity - very limey. Some 'milky' notes. Interesting minerality, good use of oak. Some fennel and rosemary. Complex. Straddles Chablis and Cote de Beaune. This could age nicely considering the underlying acidity here. Only shortcomings are that it's a bit too sweet and short finish.

Bon chardonnay assez exubérant.
Notes beurrées au nez.
Citron et brioche en bouche.
Bon vin d'apéritif. Bon rapport Q/P
