From magnum. Riper orchard fruit nose but no signs of over-ripeness with hints of lemon as well. Fuller on the palate with solid acidity to keep it from being soft. Really nice length. Some of these 06s are much better than I would have thought. Drinking very well at the moment.

This was ok but a bit blowsey for the vintage. A bit too woody for my liking as well.

Bit too much wood on the nose at this early stage but loads of class and material beneath. Well built structure with solid length and great energy. Impressive in a youthful way but this needs serious time to let everything come together. Loads of potential. Should be a rockstar in a decade or so.

Riper nose and quite a bit of wood coming through. I liked the palate a bit more with some citrus freshness but overall a bit too woody for me.

This was extremely fresh and drinking very well. Great energy and poise with citrus fruits and solid length. I really liked this and it's a shame that BdM has such a premox problem as these CCs can be stunning.

Quite oaky. Didn't spend too much time with this one. Okay.

This was drinking very well and the second BdM of the day that showed no signs of premox. Not quite as good as the 02 in my opinion, but very nice.

Premoxed.

I found this to be quite oaky and didn't impress me as much as I thought it would. Large in scale with rich and tropical fruits. Good acidity keeps things in balance but overall this was a bit too big/thick/woody for me.

Didn't taste like an 09. Leaner citrus fruits and quite light on the palate. Loads of acidity that actually dominate the fruit and as a result the wine seems slightly off-balance.

This was really good. Had more richness than I would have expected for an 04 but so much finesse and delicacy as well. Great acid and mid palate persistence. Probably one of my favourites of the day.

Ripe and rich on the nose with a very chalky palate. Interesting.

This was drinking very well today. Not a big fan of the 05 whites in general, but this one was performing well. Lusher in profile but good acidity and bits of citrus and minerals. Not going to be a long term ager but there's no need to wait as this is in the zone right now. Very nice.

One of the better young wines today. Loads of potential. Bit tight on the nose but really crisp, fresh and deep on the palate. Lots of acidity and backbone. Needs a ton of time.

Very fresh with minerals and citrus. Impressive.

From magnum. Very young with loads of potential. Not as pure and unadulterated as the 2010 Boillot (this PYCM reminds me of Lafon in some ways) but so much steely and minerally goodness. Probably one of the best wines of the day based on potential. Very backward and young. Lots of precision and dry extract. Great energy and cut. Needs serious time. 93+

A nice wine but nothing special. I've yet to be really impressed with Girardin’s whites (or reds for that matter). Good value here though.
