January 18, 2020 - A nose of citrus and some spice, light golden in color. A light to medium bodied white, with apple, pineapple, decent acidity and spice on finish. www.winelx.com

June 18, 2019 - On the Nose: apple, pear, lemon, lime, pineapple, kiwi, butter, cream and vanilla.
Taste: Green apples and Sicilian lemons, pear, lime, pineapple, kiwi, and vanilla flavours with a little butter and with
long and loads of super rich mineral on the finish.
Most enjoyable will have to get some more and may be visit the vinyard.
A good-value white wine.
May keep for 10 years.
Olivier Merlin hinted that if the classification is created this may become a premier cur. -

February 24, 2019 - Encore une fois un Mâcon qui en donne tellement pour moins de 25$,
dieu que je ne m`ennuis pas des Chablis qui sont 10, 15 et même 20$ de
plus que ce bijou et qui en donne moins!
Nez charmeur sur les coquillages, l`air salin, les fleurs, les pommes et
les agrumes.
En bouche, c`est droit, assez ample et vif, des pommes et
des citrons confits avec un peu de beurre et cette
finale bien longue et super minérale.
Textbook Chardo et tellement bon.
C`est indéniablement un excellent RQP...encore un Mâcon...je le redis!1 person found this helpful Comments (4)
