  Still tastes quite youthful and fresh, with very good balance. Good quality/price/enjoyment ratio. It lacked a bit of tension, intensity & length for my personal preferences but the quality of the wine itself made me want to try others from the producer.

  Great value. Slightly reductive nose, more citric than buttery on the palate.

  Fantastic value at £10, mineral and quite chablis like (at half the price)

  Pleasant wine, with a mineral element to it that makes it feel more like a wine from Macon. Drink now. B+
