Lunch at Absinthe (Absinthe, Bukit Pasoh): This was yet another wine that punched above its weight class. An excellent village, it opened with a lovely nose, with typical Chassagne notes of honey and honeysuckle flowers, white pear and a lovely waft of minerality that was almost Chablis-like in its slatey character. The palate was really nice as well. It was fleshy, yet blessed with great balance and a nice sense of focus, with lots of chalky mineral underscoring its rich white fruited notes. Good finish too, ending with a slightly more citrussy up-lift. While still a bit on the simple side now, this is a very nicely shaped village that should actually age very well too. I really liked this.

Hot lemon butter with good acidity and minerals. Has a few layers of flavours
