February 15, 2015 - Blind at Anita: Medium pale yellow; Fresh, minty, green and yellow apples, intense minerality, a touch of reduction that added lovely complexity to this; intense, still zingy, concentrated, long long finish. Heads and tales above 1er cru DeMontille, Jadot, Mikulski, Lambrays, Pierre Morey in this tasting. Wish I had more. This should be good for another 5-10 years.

April 20, 2013 - Darker than the 93 Leflaive PM Combottes served alongside. Advanced, but not fully poxed. White flowers, honey on nose. Rich, lush palate...some melon. Drink up.

July 23, 2012 - Reticent nose first of lemon zest, tea, rocks and subtle dried herbs or slight floral aspect, this opened up slightly to reveal serious rocky mineral character; mouth is silky, fairly weighty, and pure wet rocks and limestone minerals and even apricot pit; like chewing on gravel, this wine had a touch of chalky tanniins too, with a long mineral laden finish. Not at the height of its powers, I would try again in 3-4 years, but clearly has the staying power for much longer.

4/1/2007 (link)(Niellon Michel Chassagne-Montrachet Clos de la Matroye) Medium-pale yellow. The nose starts deep with plenty of fresh bread and sweet pear, slowly tightens and becomes higher toned. The palate is fat and full - almost grand cru ‘oily’ - with super acidity, and penetrating intensity that bursts with lime/citrus fruit. Considerable yet understated length that shows just a hint of cream. In one word; excellent.
