    November 12, 2022 - Mid-yellow-gold, the nose is dusty with pencil shavings, ripe tangerine, yellow plum and nougat with a touch of honey peeking out.
    A crisp, edgy acid entry, broadness to the mid-palate and filled with plenty of sweet fruits, nougat and fleshy ripe peach/tinned peach. With dried pear skin texture, the wine finishes relatively short with a slightly phenolic finish. There is a bit of brioche/light toasty notes and aniseed as the wine opens, but it feels simplistic and lacks excitement. Even with the energetic acidity, it feels overwhelmed by the richness and honeyed fruit on offer. Ends with toast, a dribble of honey and nougat. Not really my thing at all.

    April 22, 2021 - Nose had a nice peachy scent, along with some wet stony earth. Palate was a bit tangy on the front, with lemon, watermelon, and cantaloupe flavors along with a touch of minerality/iodine. The finish was on the short side, with a little more citrus at the end. I think it will improve with a little more time in bottle, and if given a little while to breathe.

    November 9, 2020 - Last bottle and very nice, but not as focused or energetic as previous bottles. Very much in the orchard fruit spectrum with that varietal leafy note showing up. Structure was fine, but the finish felt short. I am definitely wondering if these are going through a teenage stage.

    November 1, 2020 - This bottle was tight and austere on opening. Rather sharp citrus with a bitter green leaf element. Air and warmth helped bring this to life, but it felt like it was in a closed teenage stage. One more bottle left after enjoying these over the past six months.

    October 18, 2020 - Pretty much spot on to my previous bottle. We did chill this very fast and while that can always have an impact on the wine, it seemed to be rather pronounced on this bottle.

    October 15, 2020 - Dette notatet er en sammenskrivning av 5 ulike notater, og komposittskåre av 18 ulike flasker jeg har hatt. Jeg har forsøkt å drikke p’n’p, samt lufte 1t, 2t, og 4t på bredbunnet karaffel, samt rask dobbeldekantering. Jeg synes pr nå at rask dobbeldekantering fungerer ok og vil fortsette det på resterende flasker.

    Chavy-Chouet Bourgogne Les Femelottes 2018
    (214,- på vmp)

    Forsøkt drukket av Zalto Burgund og Zalto Universal. Riedel Riesling og Thon universalklokke.

    Konsekvent lys strågul.

    Dufter lett reduktivt rett fra flasken. Med litt luft kommer klare mineraler, røyk og krutt samt litt lette toner av vanilje. Med mer luft kjenner man honningmelon, jordbær, sitrusblomster og etter hvert lyngblomster og honning. I munnen går denne fra reduktivt mineralsk til gul frukt, av og til litt tropisk frukt, men mest av alt melon, amalfisitron, hvite blomster og mineraler. Det er også lette fattoner på denne. Mellomsmaken byr på en konsekvent god syre og medium fylde, lengden varierer litt med luft, det samme gjør balansen. Der den kjennes kortere og litt i ubalanse både rett fra flasken, men også om den får for mye luft. Har prøvd å la denne stå i halvfull flaske over natten og synes den har tapt seg alle tre gangene. Om man lufter to-tre timer tar man nuven av de fleste fattonene, men man mister også litt reduktiv mineralitet. I de ulike notatene mine ser jeg poeng varierer fra 86p til 89p på sitt beste, snittskåren ender på 88p. Beste glass har vært Zalto Burgund mens jeg fikk minst ut i fra Riedel Riesling, det avgjørende ser dog ut til å være riktig mengde luft, og rett temperatur (jeg synes denne er ideell rund 11C).
    Selv om den sikkert tåler lagring så er jeg usikker på om den vil tjene på dette, jeg kommer nok til å drikke disse flaskene unge, mens det fortsatt er litt reduktivt mineralsk preg.

    September 12, 2020 - Solidly on point with the mix of orchard and stone fruits in a lovely place. There is some mineral texture really starting to take shape and go beyond just a chalky whiff. This may not be the best bottle I've had, but it's definitely starting to take shape.
