November 27, 2019 - Nice chardonnay. Somewhat reminiscent of a Chassagne. Floral notes, maybe some honey. A touch of buttered toast. Significant minerality, yet also opulently rounded.

November 26, 2017 - Pale yellow. Big nose of white peach, tropical fruit, melon, and butterscotch. Mire subdued on tongue when cold. Mellows as warms. Fairly long ,somewhat simple finish. Good acidity.

March 29, 2017 - Not a complex wine by any means. Just did not impress at all. Decent simple fruit in the nose and the palette too. Short finish. Would not buy again!

November 24, 2016 - Enjoyed over Thanksgiving. Warm orchard fruits mix with light citrus notes, though the acidity others have noted was very limited. I was expecting it to be brighter. Still a nice wine but maybe a bit shut down at present?

nose - chalky per cindy. whiff of smoke
mouth - minerally but powerful, licorice/anise, tangerine. very much in the style of Chablis rather that Cote de Beaune. Tasted side by Side a '12 Fevre Le Clos and I found them to be quite similar.
