Lovely buttery chardonnay, off-dry in style, some minerality, not the most complex white burgundy out there but plenty to like here. Good value, too.
N....buttery oak, toffee, roasted hazlenut, med+ intensity, charming
C....advanced straw
T....ripe apple, oak, toffee, quince, more chalky/limestone minerals than I was expecting for a sub-£20 white burgundy; near-dry, acid sitting nicely right now at 3 yrs old, brooding powerful core here; drink as quality Quaffer or Foodie style, it covers both. Not mature.
VFM?....feels £20, costs slightly less. Buy again in better vintages than France's frost-affected 2017.1 person found this helpful 477 views
