Brilliant yellow; a bit of petrol on the initial nose; great minerality, a smooth wine on the palate with low acidity; although approachable now it could benefit with a year or two in the cellar. Overall a very nice wine.

Bright gold green color. Intense nose of stones, roasted nuts, white flowers, citrus and baked pear. Rich and fat but just avoids heaviness with minerally acidity in the mid-palate. The concentration here is admirable and the wines fully realized cooked pear and nut flavors are in terrific harmony. Tough not to love today but I would drink this sooner rather than later as the color and the tendency towards mature flavors do not seem like a recipe for a long cellar life. Very well put together for an 06 and much less ripe and over the top than most others I've tried. Can't wait to try this producer in a more classic vintage like 07......

A bright--even bracing--young, minerally Burgundy; a very pure and direct, dry Chardonnay whose intensity will serve it well as it ages. Try again in five years.

Big and more robust than the Meusault Blagny. Intense on the back palate right now. Driving with incredible force. Damn good.
Just a bit soapy but tight and in focused on the palate.
