  January 28, 2023 - 13% alcohol. Long cork of vg quality. Light gold luminous colour.
  The nose is reticent, with some floral notes. The mouth is better with good vivacity and some yellow fruit, but still lacking in character and intensity.
  Correct and innocuous but understated to a fault. Very far below the best renditions of Mâconnais Chardonnay, even in the most modest AOCs. That said, the wine is in vg condition and it could last another few years; however, I don't see it improving, the stuffing simply ain't there. I can't help wondering about the yield (the "rendement butoir" is a very comfortable 70hl/ha like in Chablis).
  This bottle probably ended up in my cellar when I found myself short as a result of the first Covid emergency. Well stocked up now, and so this wine is not a repeat purchase.

  July 21, 2022 - My last bottle, and just as wonderful a value wine as all the others. Lots of lemon, lemon curd and floral elements in balance. Very good weignt for its level.

  May 29, 2022 - Consistent with previous note: A touch better this time around...could have been the heat here in Atlanta making it taste a bit more refreshing. Great party wine and part of Nicole's 50th B-day celebration.

  December 16, 2021 - Full straw with slight green cast; dry nose of tart green apple and gunflint that broadens out to ripe, almost tropical notes on the palate. Surprising qualities of dry extract and some oak influences giving a more complex overall impression than one would expect of a wine at this price point. Originally scoring this at a 90+ but left wondering whether, at this point of having a few years on it and noting its surprising complexity, it warrants a score closer to a 92. I usually go through cases of their St Veran. This was my 1st go with this bottling.

  November 13, 2021 - Wine and War... the Book...the Tasting (Old Town - Chicago IL): Both bright and ripe apple aromas and flavors, supplemented by some floral notes and lemon curd flavors. Very well balanced and concentrated for a wine at this level and price. Very fresh, very fun. Two consistent bottles.
