Open with vanilla and citrus on the nose. Great salinity and grip on the palate. Need it very cold to cancel out the bitter finish. Overall a satisfying Chardonnay. Still young with many years to cellar.

Too late after consumption for useful note but the bottle was an absolute joy. Complex citrus, maybe even some green strawberry, with some richer, more exotic, notes: pineapple, subtle oak. Great depth of flavours.

pale greenish straw colour. clean nose of pear and ripe stonefruit with whiffs of flint and white flowers. pleasantly viscous in the mouth, with good concentration to the orchard fruit and lifted by a fresh, citric acidity. layered and nuanced, takes on a saline overtone into the relatively long finish.
well balanced, approachable and with legs to see out the decade. village-level wine that feels like a premier cru at times. upside potential here.
12.5% AbV; from a variety of lieux-dits, which the domaine prefers to blend into a single bottling; vinified separately, they see 10-30% new oak for around a year before blending.

Easy and fruity. Vanilla and citrus. Buttery and saline on the palate.

Corked! Quite mild but enough to disappoint and take the shine off the wine. Why do great makers not use Diam or pre tested natural corks. Crazy
