Well delineated, tart/mineral/citrus white burg with a round center of tropical and white orchard fruit. Medium/light oak. Interesting and pleasing from nose to palate.

This was an outstanding bottle of Chardonnay with nice citrus fruit, minerality, waxy, maybe a little chalk, like Chablis in a way, and very good complexity.

Belle couleur doré pâle . Attaque très citronnée, suivi d'une pointe d'ananas et d'une finition légèrement vanillée. Longueur moyenne.
L'équilibre entre les différentes saveurs est bien préservé et on reconnaît la personnalité de ce vin qui essaie de jouer sur la corde raide , à la limite de la minéralité et du liquoreux. Ce que le millésime 2012 avait réussi à la perfection. Mais hélas , le 2013 n'a pas l'autorité , la persistance et la complexité du 2012, qui, pour sa part, était absolument remarquable.
C'est bon, mais un peu cher à ce prix.
Entre (**1/2+) et (***).

À l’aveugle, j’aurais juré que c’est du Sauvignon Blanc! Un nez d’agrumes, une acidité présente, une amertume légère, une finale légère à modérée. Et non: du Chardonnay! Le meilleur accord avec le croûton au chèvre, figues et oignons confits (discrètement acidulés).

Well this is wonderful smelling Chardonnay. That earl gray tea thing going on the nose.
'86 they went organic, which they feel is the best way to protect and work with the vine. Foudre and barrels but all old oak, no new barrels.
Palate is salty and lively, clean and mineral. This is good white burgundy here. I am being told this is very rich and supple at the same time, with some beautiful fruity acidity, its rich without being opulent. Maintain a good balance for the memory of the fruit.

La Paulée Meets Chicago: Off the Grid Tasting (City Winery - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Apple and lemon peel with moderate weight. Good, but slightly expensive ($35?) for its quality and level.

2013 A. and P. de Villaine Côte Chalonnaise Wines (SF Wine Trading Company): Medium color. Some sulfur and yellow apple on the nose. Lovely medium weight, great texture, a mouthful of apple fruit, good acidity, and strongly mineral finish. This ain't cheap, but it is hors classe for Rully.
