May 5, 2015 - Given the age, this wine was rounder and less minerally than when it was first released. More tropical fruit, creamy texture and delicious.

April 17, 2013 - At this point this seems to be fading quickly. Marked decline while in the glass. Slight hazelnut but with the negative lean, winey, oxidized apple, slight lemon. Almost just a ghost of the freshness and precision that is Chablis hallmark. Should have been consumed years ago.

March 27, 2013 - Loved the price point on this wine and it's lean lemony style. 6-12 months ago I thought this wine would age well for 5+ years, but the last few bottles opened recently were starting to oxidize fairly rapidly. Already a lean wine, the fruit is starting to drop out further... butterscotch notes increasing...

July 8, 2011 - France 2011 - Côte d'Or; 7/8/2011-7/13/2011 (Beaune): Tasted at the Domaine. Complex nose of citrus, floral and minerals. In the mouth this has great acidity with loads of mineral and citrus flavours. A very straight and focused wine which finishes crisp and fairly long. Shows lots of Chablis typicity. Drinks great now and should develop for 5+ years no problem. Very good. 89+

June 30, 2011 - Popped and poured at cellar temp. A little straw, minerals, and faint citrus on the nose. Lemon/lime, some saltiness, a bit of oak. Good acidity, medium-weight. Bright and refreshing, with a decent length on the finish which continues the lemon/salt combo. Not blowing any minds, but balanced and classy. Solid.
