  Fresh and minerally this had textbook characters of greengages, crushed seashells and oatmeal drizzled with melted butter. Beautifully balanced with an excellent length of finish, now drinking at its peak. A fantastic example of entry level Bourgogne from a top class grower. CHP 92 pts

  Honeyed greengage fruit developing butter and nuts. It’s fresh, saline and minerally and while there is sweetness on the mid-palate the overall finish is dry and lingers. A very creditable white Burgundy. 90 pts

  This was third bottle drunk since last year and the best. Lovely crisp acidity, needed as it is quite a rich fleshy wine. Good weight and length and so much interest that woudl make a lot of Puligny producers envious.

  Belle texture assez grasse. En équilibre. Finale gourmande.
