  Home at Twixmas with some fun wines: (Tasted Blind): Light to medium yellow colour. An intense and striking bouquet, bursting with freshness and ripe stone fruit with wet chalk, adding a mineral touch. Inviting palate with incisive acidity, giving freshness, feeling more alert than the Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne, offering breadth and an almost austere, metallic texture. There is peach golden apple, crushed rocks and spice with tertiary mushroom and nut notes starting to come through; it has depth and complexity, with a persistent finish. Lovely vitality, this is a clean, direct CC that manages to weave elegance through its more upright structure.

  After the 02 this was just stunning, had all the verve and aroma you could hope for. Never too heavy, great balance.

  This tastes like the big brother to the Pucelles, with a similar balance but a step up in the quality of fruit, etc. Those who like the rich style might want to opt for the Batard, but to me, this strikes just the right balance - a little less richness but still has golden fruit, complex minerality, and zippy, juicy acid as its foundation. 94-95
