Un bien beau chardonnay que voici, doré sans excès, assez pâle dans ses reflets brillants. Un nez plutôt fin, sur la vanille, les fleurs blanches, pâtissier, qui manque sans doute d’intensité, mais rassurant quand au boisé (les vieux Morey-C…) En bouche, une belle rondeur signe l’attaque des beaux chardonnay bourguignons, c’est délicat dans l’opulence, séduisant et tactilement raffiné. L’aromatique confirme le nez, la vanille embaume, le lys, de fins agrumes, avec plus d’intensité cette fois, et la longueur des seigneurs. Mais… ah il manque ce petit plus salivant qui rehausserait, qui donnerait un petit relief sur la finale! D’ailleurs, c’est en mangeant qu’il est magnifié (un homard au bbq), la salinité subtile émergeant sur l’accord. Grand vin grand plat. Pour un 2009 -solaire-, il s’en tire avec les honneurs.

Pop-n-pour on a fruit day. It looks very young in the pale golden colour. Superb bouquet with rich fruits and mineral. The palate is closed and simple, with a mineral dominated backbone and a low acidity finish. Lacking of grand cru level structure and complexity.

Still young, opened at 5 and start drink at around 730. Mineral, some tropical fruit, creamy, balance, complex, with long finish. still develop in glass over the whole night. Too early to drink and with good potential to age well. Should be better a few years later.

White Burgundy followed by many others (Sydney, Australia): Aniseed, musk, peach, honeysuckle and floral aromas. Very tightly wound on the palate, it only hints at richness with a creamy and silken mouthfeel. Great length and balance, with the structure to age well.
