Chardonnay 80%, Pinot Noir 20% (Aÿ), 100% Grand Cru. Stylish, light and elegant, nicely mature, slightly nutty.

Lovely minerality, slightly angular, a true Breuer.
Round and rich, spicy, a nice stylistic contrast with the Roseneck 2007 from Breuer.
Beautiful balance, freshness and fruit, more or less holding its own against Grange 1999.
Very aromatic, immense structure, tremendous power and concentration, very impressive, needs a lot of time still. Drink 2014 - 2029.
Powerful, medium sweet, rather caramelly, lacks fruit and rather heavily oaked. Not my style.
Grapefruit and flowers, medium sweet, slender style, elegant.
Half bottle. Not sure what went wrong. Stalky and unpleasant.
Holding up well, lovely rich, ripe and fruity style. Drink now - 2020.
Bottled 1971. Smoky, caramelly, nice but no great detail or depth.
