Especially by comparison to the flawed Berlancourt Champans we had alongside, this bottle seemed well-structured. Loads of lemon, pastry cream, lime and doesn't betray its heat on the nose. On the palate: lovely acidity, good minerality and now showing some salinity. A touch short on the finish, but solid otherwise.

Rating takes the price point into consideration! This could compete with a village Meursault or Puligny. Drinking beautiful. You could wait a year or two, but I do not see much upside (I like my whites when the fruit still speaks..). Very happy with this!
Pop and pour. Holy bottle variation. This btl was so much more put together than the others I've had. Lemon cream, vanilla, lime, solid minerality. Solid acidity on the palate. Still quite big, but somehow just more well put-together. Solid.

Pop and pour yesterday. Notes from 24 hrs open. Still a big chard. Better on day 2 open. Loads of sweet apple and vanilla: think tarte tatin with vanilla ice cream. On the palate: good acidity, but a fair amount of heat betraying the 14.5% ABV. Slightly short finish.

Big chard, fairly complex for the qpr. Fruit on the nose, citrus and orchard, followed up a little more distinct on the palate. Grapefruit, lemon, pear, apricot, some herbs on a med-long finish. Med acid, agreed with other note on leaning flabby. Easy to serve too cold and miss some of the character, but needs a chill to cut how hot it drinks. Warmed up too much it was hard to notice anything but the alc and became unbalanced.

A big Chardonnay. Pop and pour. On the nose: ripe apple and pear, with some lemon in the background. On the palate: ok acidity, and leaning flabby for my palate, some heat and good herbaceous notes on the finish. Ok.

This was really quite tasty; just bordered on being fat, but had enough energy to keep it from becoming flabby; pure and super ripe orchard fruits and just a hint of lemon oil; a long finish. Good value

Lemon and mineral.
Great qpr

Much more like my last btl. Very well put-together and doesn't betray its ABV. Solid.

Pale lemon.
Medium plus intensity on the nose with pear, peach, mango, pineapple, toast, butter, and vanilla. Youthful.
Medium plus intensity and dry on the palate. Medium acidity, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging or further aging.
