A stellar Butteaux from a raising star organically farmed winery of Thomas Pico. Wine is aged in stainless steel and concrete for 18 months. Intense and complex aroma caramelized apples, cinnamon, ripe pears, candied lemons, honeysuckle, Pina colada hints. Medium+ body, tense and lively, remarkable sharpness, so fresh and dynamic. Showing generous depth and concentration of granny smith, citrusy and stone fruit flavours along vibrant and crisp steely acidity, concludes with long mouthwatering touch smoky finish.

Mostly white Burgundies: Absolutely adore this producer, some wines just have that magic. Perfectly poised wine with a lovely balance between green and yellow fruit, an incredible acidity and precision to the wine.

Nice all around and well balanced acidity. In a good place now. Went well with both raw and fried oyster appetizer! Perhaps lacked a bit of complexity but at this price point, wish I had more.

A "cult" wine tasting and lunch (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam, NL): Wonderful nose, classical style, beautifully formed palate, noticeable bitters, rich and salty finish. Grand Vin.
