Lime and herbs on the nose. Medium weight, fresh with good acidity, bitter, citric finish.

Light greenish color. Grassy, gooseberry nose. Light grapefruit, jarring, bitter finish. Not very good.

Light color, green tint. Lime aromas and flavors. Light weight, oyster shell and stone. As with all 3 of these wines, a distinctly unappealing bitterness at the end.

Yellow. Light citrus. Ripe front end with nice texture but then a very lean, mineral finish. Atypical for Macon.

Yellow. Again, very lean and hard to get at any fruit. More Chablis than Macon. Odd and unsatisfying.

Light yellow. Flowers and herbs. Lean, almost Sauvignon-like, bitter, short finish. I would never have pegged it as a Pouilly Fuisse. Very strange set of wines from this producer.

Yellow. Toasty oak nose. Round attack marred by some sulfur, but beyond this, all wood all the time. Cannot really unearth any fruit or Chassagne character. Hideous.

Medium ruby center. Briary anise nose. Light bodied. Core of simple black fruit. Not so bon.

Light ruby. Funk on the nose. Light, pleasant red fruit, sharp acidity and some soil. Better than the Bourgogne but not by much.

Light color. Floral. Lighter weight, thin feel. Black/red fruit, jagged finish. No.

Pale transparent center. Some sulfur stunts the aromatics. Lean and tannic but more to it than the Echezots. Still, hardly worth it.

Moderately deep ruby. Bigger and more textural than any of the others. Rather lush entry with a bit of confected, well constituted black fruit. Licorice, strong acidity, good soil, tannic finish. The only Ballorin wine I liked today. Good Nuits typicity.

Tawny center, very light edge. Odd mixture of stalkiness and artificial candied quality; I wonder if this was chaptalized. Big for Volnay, brooding, rustic and tannic. Unattractive and more in the Pommard than Volnay mold.
