  The secret to enjoying this wine at the moment is too give it plenty of air. On popping and pouring it doesn't do a lot, but 20-30 mins later it transforms. Bags of freshness and purity with hints of lemony citrus and white flower. On the finish it's a complex mix of minerals and stone flavours and in many ways is Chablis-like in character. In no way is this a blockbuster, but it is so cool and elegant. There is little point in extending the cellar time as it's on the money now. Estimated maturity: 2014-2018

  A previous bottle I opened in August 2017 was dull and flat, and suffering from the first stages of premox. It was way over the hill and clearly time to drink up and move on asap. So I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this latest bottle. Bags of freshness and purity with hints of lemony citrus and white flower. On the finish it's a complex mix of minerals and stone flavours and in many ways is Chablis-like in character. In no way is this a blockbuster, but it is so cool and elegant. The previous bottle was one to forget, whereas this sample is one to remember. It will be interesting to see which camp the next bottle falls in. Either way, there is no point in extending the cellar time as it's on the money now.

  Lunch au QG offert par Michel Therrien
  Un très beau nez, fruit jaune, un peu d'élevage
  Belle tension en bouche, c'est vineux et très élégant, belle finale un brin lactée, complexe et fine. J'étais sur un beau Meursault 2008.... 92 pts

  mmm so so really. No vibrancy, is this the 1st sign of premox??
  There is a certain delicacy but nothing on the nose and hardly anything but acidity on the palate.
  Hope it's just an off bottle, drinkeable but not much pleasure.

  Excellent wine, PYC still does a great job for the family label.
