  Some acid and citrus fruit, but more than anything else creamy butter. Mineral notes add to a fairly interesting package which offers enough nuances to stand out from the crowd.

  I think avp's description of the 2008 vintage is pretty accurate for this one. Drunk too warm the oak is way too dominant. At a little above fridge temp this is quite tolerable, even though the oak is obvious and finish is quite peppery. There is a nice mineral component though and quite nice yellow fruit. Pretty powerful Chardonnay and not bad but less oak would've made this a lot more enjoyable with salmon pasta in a cream sauce. Still, at 14 € pretty meh and I'll choose Drouhin's Rully any day over this. Not sure how this will develop though.
