  January 20, 2024 - Lustrous gold, brilliant.
  Dried herbs, honeysuckle, bright and intense.
  Lemon and limes dominate, cut with bright acidity, with a refined herbal spice. Sherbet zest merges with the apparent sweetness. Totally clean, crisp and youthful. Very high quality, timeless.

  March 10, 2021 - Bottle breathe for 15 min. Loads of citrus and honey but the delicacy is different from the “full body” feel of Meursault. The palate shows the complexity of flower, fresh fruit but also offers clean taste. Medium finishing. Too bad we didn’t decant this one. I think it will even show more if there are enough time for breathing

  December 24, 2020 - Golden, looks aged.
  Cut hay, dried herbs, honeysuckle, bright and intense, seems more Sav than Sem despite being only 20%.
  Lemon and limes dominate with bright acidity, but the herbal spice is very present too. Sherbet zest lifts the apparent sweetness. Initial slightly oxidative notes which blew off in time. Very enjoyable now, probably heading into old age soon.
