YES YES YES!!.....wow what a smoky mineral fruit laden aroma! Nice golden hue...palate is Apple, lemon curd, smoke, mineral, lime Washed in brilliant acidity and a lingering mouth watering pucker... I bought it on a close out for $20 and it may qualify as the best white burgundy QPR In my wine career. Would be memorable at full retail..

French Chardonnay experience, but some new oak. Rich golden color, complex, white wine with caramel. Long delicious finish. Best if with dinner, perhaps chicken or fish.

At this stage, I think this wine strikes a perfect balance between the more generous Les Combettes and the more austere Les Clos. From what I understand, they used more new oak for this wine (some years close to 100%), but fear not, this warmer site has enough stuffing to take on the oak. On top of that, cedar, rich caramel notes, tropical fruit notes. Medium plus acidity. Medium plus finish with notes of mineral, stone fruit, etc.

Light yellow, fragrant bouquet, lovely crisp Blanc but still young with oak to resolve
