March 4, 2024 - My second bottle of 3, and once again it delivered, and could be mistaken for a first rate Meursault. It is showing its age, and its precision is waning, but great value. Also a piece of history as it no longer exists.

September 29, 2023 - This was a very pleasant surprise, in that it has aged very gracefully, and it is now a sumptuous drink. Admittedly it has lost some of its precision, but what is it left is a very decadent white wine, which could be mistaken for a top Meursault. This is very difficult to source, and I came across this by chance, and realistically it does need to be drunk up over the next 12 months.

March 28, 2009 - One of the finest Chardonnay's around. Unfortunately not for long, as I understand that the wine maker, Benoit Germain, plans to blend this cuvee into a white version of the spectacular, but underrecongnized Pinot Noir Tante Berthe. If you can find it, buy it, drink it and cellar it. Young it is intense bright and angular, aged it is veloptuous.
