April 17, 2024 - Medium yellow in color. Initially reductive which quickly blows away to showcase superb aromas of yellow citrus oils, lemon curd, peaches, hint of melted butter and dried florals. Concentrated and palate staining flavors of yellow citrus and orchard pit fruits, saline notes, very good acidity and a very long, powerful finish. Superb.

March 5, 2024 - White flowers, honey, lemon zest, and hints of flint and wet stone on the nose. Quite the journey this wine took. Started off a bit light ten minutes after opening with reserved acid. Lime, honey suckle, and pure minerality and sea salt on the palate. Acid started coming on after an hour and a half. Finish lasts forever.

December 23, 2023 - Light yellow-gold in color. Gorgeous aromas of yellow citrus blossoms, white peaches, hint of melted butter, maritime scents. At once tactile and dense on the palate showing sour-sweet and creamy orchard pit fruits, citrus confit, excellent acidity and a very long, perfumed and mineral finish. Wow...

October 14, 2023 - Nick A's Burgundy Series, 2011 Edition, kids table: Wonderful nose. Some discussion of reduction at the table - yes perhaps a hint, but blows off. Clean and linear, some lovely citrus hints but it's also relaxed in its skin. This is what white burgundy is supposed to be about.

October 12, 2023 - Nick's 2011 Burgundies (Noizé): Strongly reductive nose which dissipates after about 20 minutes. Lovely sharp citrus, lime, and apple peel. Opens up with time, becomes more giving, but it is still a very linear wine, clean and precise with a lengthy finish. Very classy indeed. It’s when you drink white wine like this that you realise that most of what you normally drink is just a cheap imitation. A real treat!
