  Hit a home run with this tattered looking bottle! Gorgeous shimmering gold green color...to die for nose of crushed oyster shell, sea air, green apple, exotic honey butter, crushed flowers, mint. YES YES YES...FU premox...this little coop kicked its ass wit this one! Tons of crushed chalky minerality in this...salty rocks, sea air funk...to go with the waxy pitted orchard fruits...still sweet and ripe, and cut so nicely with the jazzed lemon citrus...wonderful integration with some aged honey and truffle...nuanced smoked vanilla oak spice...creamy with some almond butter...waxy spearmint giving Ramonet the nod...such a stunner aged Chablis...couldn't ask for more from this little 1er!

  The second enjoyable white burgundy in a week (see note on 2004 François Lumpp Givry 1er Cru Petit Marole). This is perhaps just past its best, but at nearly 19 years this is still in excellent condition. Mineral and long.
