  This bottle was outstandingly fresh, initially creme brûlée, tropical fruits, with air resolving into a more kelpy, saline mineral wine with a very persistent lemon lozenge finish. Fabulous for its level.

  There are some mild tropical fruit aromas and flavours. It has good weight and definition for its level and whilst it is ripe with relatively low acidity the finish is fresh and minerally with a suggestion of grapefruit.

  Lemon flavors, a bit tart, no or light oak, good acidity, medium finish. I love French whites as a rule.

  Unusual. Somewhat reticent nose of lemon tea and verbena. More of the same on the palate with a slightly over-prominent acidity and chalky minerality, finishing with a bit of bacon fat.

  Very good entry level white burgundy, excellent balance between the fruit, minerality and the underlying acidity. Decent complexity on the nose and a very pleasant medium finish.
