Excellent. Showed a distinct chardonnay personality but with extra proportions, complexity and richness. Bested a favorite grower nonvintage Ambonnay bottle opened alongside. A re-purchase despite the already high price point.

Light greenish-gold. The nose is modest but attractive, slightly sweet but recognizably chardonnay. The palate is round and fruity, more vinous and less yeasty than many BdBs. The finish has lovely winey edges, a little short but very attractive. Not Champagne, and doesn't need to be.

Really good; fresh green apples, pears and citrus fruits accented by gentle yeasty, biscuity and mineral notes - light on its feet with bright acidity keeping it very precise and refreshing, must find some of this.

Other than being slightly darker, I stick with the previous description, while not Champagne this is a very worthy and enjoyable wine.
