Community Tasting Note

thewinelake Likes this wine:

Friday, May 26, 2023 - Bright yellow gold. Toasty vanillary nose suggests decent quality oak. More buttered well-done toast, fruity (all sorts, really - apple, citrus, tropical) but kept in check by lovely fresh acidity. Some salinity here, and a decent palate length that dries towards the finish leaving a mild peach/apricot kernel feeling. Surprisingly similar to the Bichot in some ways, just with more of everything and a few extras. These really are both very Chardonnay, but reigned-in. No blowsiness or overwhelming whack of oak. In terms of quality, it's as though this is a premier cru to the Bichot's village wine. Again, like the Bichot, I don't feel that this is trying to show off or be a "Burgundy Killer" - it's just a very enjoyable wine, with enough in it to make one ponder briefly before getting on with life. Very likeable, although I suspect the oakophobe brigade might find it a bit too much?
