Medium gold color Nutty nose with poached pear, apple, pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe, and passion fruit on the palate Tropical all over makes this an outlier for this climat but I have seen this from this producer before

so this was an interesting bottle. Popped and poured and it was a really deep deep golden hue and I was very worried it was pre-moxed. As it opened, it gained weight, pretty white stone fruit, minerality and good acidity. It may be on the edge of premox, but i had this over two days and it was terrific.

Magnífica chardonnay del Premier Cru Folatières. Color dorado. Nariz elegante y expresiva, con cierto aire maduro, hay melocotón de viña, matices de mantequilla fresca, algo de vainilla, suaves matices ahumados y una sutil mineralidad que reaparecerá en boca. Muy buena entrada en boca, untuoso, con mucha fruta, reaparecen las notas de mantequilla y la mineralidad, buena acidez, estructura media, largo y evocador. Elegancia a espuertas.

so this was on the edge of premox. super dark golden hue and no nose was the tip off that this might be flawed; but no overt vinegar or burnt butterscotch that I taste in others. it opened and it was literally in the first half inning of premox. some odd metallic finish notes but actually a decent body of white fruit, minerality and acidity on the finish. Bummed that we didnt have this at its peak. I had another Drouhin white in the last few months that was fully premoxed and undrinkable and also on the young side. a bit worried about the trend here...

So bummed. Deep golden hue, burnt bitter butterscotch notes with a sour end. Yup it’s corked. :(
