  April 2, 2021 - Ma dernière et la meilleure bouteille de ce vin. Superbe nez de poire, fenouil, citron confit, aucune oxydation. La bouche est grasse, avec une sensation mielleuse et enrobante, la finale explosive avec des notes saline et d'étranges arômes subtils et plaisants de gâteux aux épices et d'écorces d'agrumes. Un vin qui était 42 à l'époque, qui a vieillit de telle manière en 15 ans alors qu'on a jeté de bien plus gros canons de Chardo prémox à l'évier depuis des années, je pense que le monde du vin nous permettra toujours de trouver des pépites à l'abri des buzz qui nous donneront du plaisir longtemps... 94

  March 23, 2021 - P&P and drunk over 2 days. First day, nose on on whit fruits and honey. Rich, almost unctuous, good acidity though.I would have never bet Sancerre. Second day, nose is almost the same; a bit more acidity on the palate, some bitterness as well. Not really my style.

  March 16, 2021 - Really took a while to open up. Started quite forward, in a Boulay style but lacking depth. After 2 days, the wine really changed and became more complex and revealed its terroir. Some oxidation bothered me at first. Rather full for Boulay.
  Still not a total fan of the vintage though.

  August 9, 2020 - (From magnum). I've been drinking this wine for over 10 years now and, although it peaked sometime in the past, this was a very nice last bottle. Although it is not as powerful as it has been in the past, I wouldn't say it has faded - its just different. Still plenty of complexity and worth aging to this point.

  November 22, 2018 - Beautiful wine. Soft citrus notes and the age has softened the acidity. Lovely!
