December 4, 2021 - A l'ouverture, çà se présentait pas mal, grosse puissance, un côté un peu miellé, robe évoluée, mais çà avait l'air de bien se tenir. Hélas, il s'est complètement écroulé avec l'aération. Méchamment oxydé, se boit sans plaisir. Snif. Le bilan sur cette cuvée dans ces années-là, c'est une bouteille sur deux qui révèle un problème lactique/oxydé.

January 24, 2021 - On the nose it is buttered with hazelnuts. The curry will arrive during the tasting.
The palate is fat. Beautiful substance, where the butter fights with the curry to gain the upper hand. It is structured with a fine acidity. The wine is ample, almost oily. The finish is of a very beautiful intensity where the minerality emerges with a freshness which gives it a lot of length.
Excellent bottle. -

July 24, 2019 - Pnp, surprisingly light on color, medium straw yellow. Floral aroma, some spice and mineral. Concentrated on palate, low on acidity and sweetness, but finely balanced and complex.

July 13, 2019 - Darker yellow in color. Not a ton on the nose initially. May have been a little cold. On the palate this is better than it looks. Good richness and vibrancy. Hints of oxidation but not overly oxidized. Lemon, tangy acidity, nuts, lees. Overall for the vineyard a bit of a disappointment but still good for a 17 year old white wine. Drink up - given the color and oxidation creeping in this will not improve.

June 12, 2019 - Deep, dark gold, the wine was compltely closed. Even 30 minutes after decanting it was aromatically restrained and more about flavor and body. This is a big, rich, sappy wine with a grainy, mealy mouthfeel and flavor, with a classic Burgundy bite and a rich, long and comforting finish. Almost to be savored on its own, away from food, it nevertheless did well with a rich seafood dish. Not sure where this goes from here, I would drink up.
