  Coravin in a restaurant, this is an excellent wine already drinking well. It is not necessarily immediately recognisable as burgundy.

  Decanted for 1h (as reccomended by the importer here). Wine is clean and stable, no volatility I can detect. Reductive nose with notes of butter and popcorn. I imagine this to be an amalgam of De Moor and Bernaudeau, clearly a white wine vinified in the low intervention (no sulphite added) tradition. If drank blind, this would more Chenin than Chardonnay to my palate. High acidity kept in check by a slight bitterness in the finish - complex wine that changes with each sip. Certainly not a wine for everyone but very enjoyable for me.

  Aromatics are energetic and somewhat classical, but palate is plasticky.

  First time tried his white wine. I literally said “Wow” when I smelled the wine. The aroma is so special and complex, sea shell, salted pineapple/pear, jasmine tea, modestly ripe on the nose. Interestingly, we had this wine along with shrimp toast, a traditional Cantonese food; I initially thought the aroma is from the food. I moved away from the table and double checked that scent - it is that special and aromatic! On palate surprisingly it was quite light, actually showed a bit more honey-like sweetness, white flowers and modest minerality. After opening for 1-2 hours, nose somehow became more reductive. It seemed that it kept evolving the whole night as it is quite a young wine.

  I like the nose very much with white chocolate, peach, and exotic fruit. Palate is fat and ripe. It has a rather low acidity which is common for 2015. Interesting wine but quite expensive for what it is.
