  Rich and textured. Pear and citrus. Well cellared and delicious.

  I can see why people like this chardonnay: it is restricted, the opposite from fat, refined, everything is true. And at € 50 is is not overly expensive. But I do not think it is an 'hors categorie' as James Suckling did. It is nice, but I think it lacks minerality, tension, personality, etc. Maybe these qualities come in later, but for now 91 points is enough

  Notes of green apple, citrus with good acidity and long finish. Still youthful.

  Yeah it's good. Textured, persistent, creamy lemon. The reputation says it has more to give in time. At th moment though it feels less of a wine than the 2016. Expensive.
