Butterscotch, juste ce qu'il faut d'acidité, un Chassagne opulent qui rappel certain Meursault. C'est bon mais après 1-2 verres ca devient un peu lourd. Sur la fin de son apogée.

At Reflections. Tasted blind. About ~2hours of air in bottle already. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow gold colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of salty minerality, seaspray, smoke, limestone mineality, citrus lemon-lime. Developing. On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of salty minerality, seaspray, smoke, limestone minerality, sweet citrus lemon-lime fruit. Crystalline medium+ finsh. Very good quality. Mineralic focus, though the saltiness may be a bit extreme for some. Overall character totally in keeping with the Les Chaumees terroir. Can drink now with air.

Blind tasting. Brief note. Double decanted prior in the day. This needed all the air it could get as it was tight and unyielding until about 6-7 hours in. Pours a very pale yellow in the glass. Nose and palate show a good mix of sweeter meyer lemons and tart lemon as well, slight tropical fruits without being honeyed, and river rock/limestone mineralité. Malo and oak are certainly present but not intrusive and add good weight and a pleasant roundness I otherwise despise. Midpalate has a lovely texture without being dense and oily and has great citrus bite to it. Very clean and long finish. This is good now but needs time.

Fruits jaunes et blancs, bel équilibre entre richesse et acidité, ne fait pas son âge, aucune oxydation pre-maturée, très beau. 91-92
White and yellow feuit, nice balance, no oxydation, still young and delicious bottle.

Beautiful wine. Drinking great right now, with no sign of oxidation. This has another 6-9 years at least.
