Still young, a tiny bit oaky at first, but that blew off with air. The nose had a bit of matchstick, white peach and lemon zest, white flowers as well. Very elegant. In the mouth it was equally elegant and fine with very fresh acidity and lots of nuances, quite subtle. Spectacular.

This is great white Burgundy! Nose with straw, grass and yellow fruit. powerful palate with citrus fruit, freshness and nice oaky tones. Long, long finish, great wine!

Tasted alongside 2008. Light golden yellow. In the nose very refined with multiple layers of aromas, a bit yeasty, a faint kiss of wood, exotic notes, lemon, limes, vanilla. On the palate, this is fragile with prominent acidity that dances around in the mouth, very transparent, very long. More bottle time will do it good, but it's already really impressive.

At royal mail vic. Well structured, easy, oily - bit too much oak for me, but lovely
