May 11, 2023 - This bottle had evolved a lot since last summer. Now more opened and elements more integrated. Much more substance and finesse than last time I tasted. Acidity still high, and looking promising with another year or two in the cellar.

July 9, 2022 - Mild citrus, lemon zest, pineapple, sugar cane, syrup. Light to medium toasted barrel. The acidity was so high that hurts the gum. 2017 was a great vintage for white Burgundies. The wine could benefit from laying down a few more years to soften the acid and allow more characters to develop.

June 26, 2022 - Really positive bouquet of green plums and chalk with flavours repeated on the palate. Zingy and fresh this develops butter, cream and vanilla with a hint of toast. Stylish and balanced, nothing is overdone; it has an impressive finale and is currently at its peak. Overdelivers on a relatively modest appellation. CHP 91 pts

December 24, 2021 - On the palate greengage fruit wrapped around a core of acidity. Subtle notes evolve of oatmeal, a hint of vanilla and butter. Medium-bodied, it’s fresh, layered and vibrant. Although savoury there is a hint of sweetness on the finish which is persistent and mouth-filling. Has all the character of a fine Cote d’Or white without the eye-watering price tag. 91 pts

October 9, 2021 - Chalky green plums, vanilla and butterscotch with a touch of toffee. Refreshing with a good follow through and nice finish. In the modern style, it ticks all the boxes and very correct. Very pleasing but tended to disappear when matched with a plate of hot smoked salmon. 87pts
