    March 2, 2024 - Worried it might have been past its prime to start but decanted it and it opened up beautifully. Rich but with good minerality and classic floral and honeysuckle nose. It was my first try of Montille's negotiante wines but I was impressed.

    September 28, 2016 - score is for night two, oh boy this was nice with sweet and tart palate, nice acidity, some (med minus) richness which provided a nice mouthfeel and good finish in the throat, tasty and slightly hedonistic, but still the brightness of P/M showed through

    May 19, 2015 - NR as i wasn't concentrating on tasting, but i would say that i tasted in the thirty minutes after decanting and thought it seemed a bit disjointed (clearly relative to my prior note on the wine), wouldn't have called it tense and bright this time around, seemed like the oak treatment was in an awkward spot

    September 29, 2014 - Citrus lemon and apple. Well balanced and full bodied Chardonnay with nice minerality.

    August 22, 2014 - Exotic; a prominent saline note, cream, tropical and stone fruit. Might knit together with a couple more years in bottle, but wouldn't pay the price to find out.

    February 17, 2014 - no notes taken but this was beautiful (and stood tall coming on the heels of a 2010 Billaud-Simon Preuses), a big hit for all the bridge players, i had the last glass the next night and it was even better, great acidity and citrus dominant
