Very pale, appropriate for its age. Fairly delicate nose with melon and citrus fruit. also a floral component. No "oak" component. Nice texture as well as acid. The aromas under-deliver but the wine is very well made. Probably appropriate for appellation. Could improve. not sure.

I also tried this wine back in May and commented on the oak. Like the Borgogne I just tasted, this is much better today, so I guess in both cases it was just a question of time before the oak was assimilated into the wine. This is a step up from the Borgogne, and pretty likable.
With the usual caveat about pre-mox when it comes to white Burgundy, this also strikes me as a wine that will benefit from additional time in the bottle.

Much better than the Bourgogne from the same vintage - tart white fruit, adequate acidity, focused nose with a citrus back note. Pretty tasty.

Tasty - I just had a glass of the '15 Chidaine Bournais, so a tough act to follow, but this wine is interesting in its own right.
Expansive on the palate, with sweet & tart fruit - really nice.

Light straw color. Melon and lightly honied nose is followed by a full bodied, rich palate that has good finishing zip. Excellent value. (89)
