May 2, 2022 - pear, almond skin, vanilla. concentration more than finesse here, and as noted below i get the bitter note as well. in some strange way it reminds me a bit of eau-de-vie.

October 15, 2021 - a bit more identifiable as maconnais than other bottles from merlin. excellent with more honey and white floral notes in the frame along with apples, lemons. nuts and cream. acid to make most happy. very good wine

September 8, 2020 - Fraichement débarqué...superbe vin, je crois qu'il est
aussi bon si non meilleur que le 2016 que j'adore!
Du Chardo qui fera rougir certains crus Chablisiens
et on est sous les 25$ ici...RQPP exceptionnel (Prix et plaisir)!
Beau nez sur les fruits à chairs blanches et les fleurs.
En bouche, belle vivacité et complexité.
Des pommes granny Smith, des citrons confits, une pointe
de salinité et une belle allonge qui nous laisse
sur une finale vivifiante avec relents de minéraux.
EXCELLENT...boire mieux et plus pour moins...I drink to that!
PS: On se garroche là-dessus pendant qe les Macons sont encore
à prix honnête, avec l'annonce du premier 1er cru Mâconnais qui vient de tomber,
les répercussions rosque de venir sur plusieurs de ces crus!
