August 23, 2019 - Served blind guessed 2001. Shows its age but it also has acidity and liveliness. Rounder and more approachable than the Carillon, but not as precise nor long. In sum, a super villages wine that again demonstrates the brilliant heights of Lafon.
Another pristine bottle hand carried from the producer, resting in the same cellar until we opened it. -

November 30, 2013 - Melon, a bit much with the oak. Disappointing for Lafon.

June 5, 2010 - Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): It's always nice to have a great white amongst all of the usual reds around the table.
Decanted for 60 minutes. Color is medium day bright gold color. Modern styling - a big Burgundy. Really ripe styling.
Lemon oil, fatty butteryness with some light roasted nuts on top of a caramel apple - but a yellow apple. Elegant.
The nose shows gobs of candied yellow and green fruit throughout. Full of life and spunk.
Carrying over to the palate the gravel almost lends a waxy feel on the tongue. Some white peppery peaches come through as well.
Just awesome fruit. Really really young at this stage. Long life ahead.
A really cool and yummy wine to drink. Any one would enjoy this juice.
