Explosive popcorn, sesame, butterscotch, honey and white flower notes, but without being over-the-top. It keeps evolving during the night. Wonderful Bourgogne level white.

When PnP, it shows a predominantly reductive nose, and the wine is quite closed.
With hours of aeration, layers of reductive, grapefruit, honeysuckle, orchard fruit and mineral flavours start to unfold gradually. The high acidity is perfectly wrapped by the reductive and fruity flavours. Very serious Bourgogne wine, with potential for further ageing.

Opens with an appealing nose or rich orchard fruit with just the right amount of reduction that adds interest without distracting. Moderate density and intensity. Plenty of rich orchard fruit. Not especially complex, but right the top of the Bourgogne Blanc heap, I suspect.

Dinner at Margeaux Brasserie (Chicago, IL): This is good for the level, first off showing the classic reduction qualities (perhaps a hint too much) with its flinty, minerally popcorn notes. The palate is clearly one of lesser density, and while there's plenty of acidity here, it's fairly one-note, and shows a bit dilute on the midpalate. I reckon the acidity's a bit too loud here, in comparison to the other elements.

Starbright; riveting, dynamic, enticing; laser like precision, pitch perfect; dramatically sweeping. Will age effortlessly.
