Going strong, still a pale, light yellow color. Gorgeous bouquet, perfectly poised between richness and freshness. The palate still shows young, all lime and chalk. Outstanding (again).
PnP. Opened for visiting wine royalty; we were both thankful for such a fine performance. This is pretty much everything I'm looking for in a moderately aged 1er: exceptional balance, depth of fruit, and inspiring complexity. The cork and fill were in excellent condition, as such the wine is perfectly fresh, the color, bright and showing few signs of age. I've got three more which I'll very much look forward to opening in the coming 4-5 years. It's been far too long since I've had this producer with any real frequency, and that's something I should endeavor to rectify. recommended

Minty, tarragon, lemon creme, subtle vanilla, white flowers. Great body and luxurious fruit, yet never heavy. Perfect balance, in such a great spot. White burgundy stands alone. 94-95 pts.

Niellon is cheap for the right reason. His 2014 was spectacular two years ago. Based on this bottle from the same batch of the excellent bottles, it is already showing some advanced character. It is drinking older than its true age. Not surprised other tasters have already had premox bottle. Drink up asap.
