  From the notes below, there seems to be some bottle variation. This one was bright, perhaps a bit lean, and slightly reduced. I like the struck match, flinty nose though. Lots of mineral and almost salty. Chablis-like. Tasty if you like the style.

  Don’t drink too cold. Once warmed up the nose reveals an oxidative aroma followed by a slight floral notes and roasted apples. The palate has roasted lemon, apples, and a stoney minerality. This is definitely a natural wine and quite enjoyable to those that enjoy the style.

  Appearance: Bright and clear, medium lemon in color, with watery rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit of apple, tropical fruit of melon, floral notes of hawthorn, oxidation notes of sherry, mineral notes of kerosene, kernel notes of raw almond, maturity notes of honey. The wine is developing.
  Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium alcohol, medium body and medium intensity (+) flavors of citrus fruit of grapefruit, green fruit of apple, floral notes of hawthorn, oxidation notes of sherry, mineral notes of kerosene, maturity notes of honey. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
  Conclusion: Very good quality Saint-Romain with an intense nose showing good complexity, with a wide range of fruit, floral and mineral characters, the wine is crisp with nice acidity, well-structured with good concentration in flavors, exhibiting a fairly long finish. It is ready to drink now though can further develop for another 2-3 years.

  Drank it along with 2014 Domaine Chanterêves St. Romain Combe Bazin. Chassorney made this particular terrior with more layers on the palate and lengthier taste. Simply love it.

  This was my favorite white wine at a natural wine fair held in Chicago earlier this year. I was able to get my hands on a few bottles and I finally got around to opening one earlier this week. I must say it did not impress me as much this time. I am not sure if it was to bottle variation or some other factor. I suppose wine can have good days and bad days like people. Don't get me wrong, it still was a very nice wine. I drank it over two days, but on the second day it was very oxidized. My recommendation is to drink the wine the same day you open it. This is not a hard task
