  February 27, 2024 - This wine has improved significantly since the last time I tasted it (still not at critic level, but still). Medium intensity on the nose with herbs, ripe gooseberry, butter, ripe peach, mango, just ripe pineapple. High acidity and a long finish

  August 26, 2023 - Second time of tasting, I am once again impressed with the quality, and would mistake it for a top notch Grand Cru Chablis if tasted blind. It needs a lot of air, and I decanted this for a couple of hours, but probably it could do with more. It is very accessible now, but this is a wine that is still going to give pleasure 20 years hence. Taste profile is as per note in January, but the salinity and precision are impeccable, and the finish is exceptional. Also, this a fraction of the price of pretty mediocre Burgundys in the present over inflated market.

  May 7, 2023 - Lemon, cream, cheesecake, hints of vanilla and melon, piercing acidity. King of old world style, but not quite to the level of the truly great burgundies.

  January 22, 2023 - I decided to try this after the recent rapid hike in white Burgundy prices, and after reading James Suckling's review. This is a revelation and stands up against the best French Burgundys. The precision is incredible. The wine delivers apple, pineapple, and gravel notes with a wonderful salinity on the finish. If tasted blind, I would have gone for a grand cru Chablis. I would advise to drink this with food to offset the dryness. 96+

  January 1, 2023 - 2022 New Years Eve: Malolactic fermentation, subtle oak, sea spray and lime are evident on the nose. Slight sea spray on the palate (but not very saline), more shells and minerality along with the lime and other citrus. This is an interesting style that has a foot in the new world camp and a foot in chablis.
