October 3, 2023 - In this in between stage of not yet secondary but out of its young and fresh stage. A touch of oxidative nose that worried us but really this wine now needs to rest and be reproached in 1-2 years when it sin that fully mature stae. We do worry a bit given it had some oxidative touch but we think this was a result of the bottle rather than the wine or at least we hope. A solid 91-92 maybe more for now.

January 6, 2023 - Tried after Raveneau Butteaux 14. Has more residual sugar that is more apparent than on other cuvées. Very good though. Quite rich.

June 4, 2022 - Delicious. Opened 30 minutes, drinking great from start. Lovely nose, subtle floral and fruit, hints of lemon, lime, citrus. Moderate full body, crisp and balanced, long, richer fruit, mineral composition. Lovely weight as it melts in the mouth, vey clean. Taking a cue from VIETTY served with pan fried local sea scallops home-made lemon fettuccini, herbs, garden greens (often served with a Chablis), just perfect.

November 19, 2021 - Smokey and mineral. Drinking well. No excessive RS. Showed well on PNP. After an hour, was singing. Long finish. Excellent and looking forward to seeing how the next one shows.
