  Some richness on the nose. Rather weighty on the palate but balanced by a lovely freshness. Rich peach fruit with touches of spice and saline notes. Drink now or hold.
  
  WSET Notes:
  
  Pale gold.
  
  Pronounced on the nose with apple, pear, apricot, biscuit, cream and walnut. Developing.
  
  Pronounced and dry with some nutmeg, peach and saline notes coming through. Medium (+) body, medium (+) acidity, medium alcohol, long finish.
  
  Can drink now but has potential for ageing.

  Obvious, ripe, borderline flamboyant chardonnay here. Floral, lemony, grapey bouquet. If you bought a kit of synthetic wine smells, this would be the chardonnay vial. Lots of Bartlett pear on the attack, showing a little fat, followed with ample, clumsy acids and a whisper of minerality. A little rough on the finish. Tasty but lacks gravitas, comes across like a New World white (though unadorned by oak).

  Colour: med gold, right, clear.
  Nose: full, v ripe, rounded, creamy, good fruit
  Taste: med body, rounded, good ripe fruit and acidity balance, med finish, ripe.
  Overall, a revelation. It has the fatness of the Maconnais with the character of good Burgundy.
  Tasted while feeling fluey so perhaps not as focused as usual.
