Golden color, clear. Beautiful nose, fresh and harmonious, with a lot of white fruit still (pear, white peach) and floral notes. Very fresh on the palate too, with lots of fruit on a lightly salty background and rich complexity, all tightly bound in a seamless wonderful mature white Burgundy. Great wine!

Performed very well for 12 year old white, still rather tense and vervy with the firm acidic backbone, opened up over the 6 hours we consumed it. Minerally driven, focused and a great value!

91/100. A week under Coravin, and cork started leaking - so I figured, why wait, why spoil it.
Man, it’s a different wine now - no rough edges, balanced high precision Chard with pleasant depth. I had to up my score for this, so this re-rating is well deserved.

Too harsh and not too balanced. Bouquet of lemon and apricot stone, with vibrant, stinging acidity. This bites and bites again. The balance is not what it should be.

2nd Dinner in La Mere Germaine Chateauneuf-du-Pape: Beautiful bouquet with white fruits and good minerals. Same on the palate; well dosed oak and fresh citrus acidity.
