Perfect example of age-worthy Viognier. 30 years old yet the freshness is comparable to a white Burgundy with half its age. Touch of dusty / musty sous bois initially, but blew off quickly, leaving behind a beautiful array of citrus fruits and lemon oil. Waxy and creamy, An incredible testimony on age-worthy Viognier. (93/100)

Base 2020. La Rogerie, a new producer under my radar, good friends of Selosse and uses Selosse barrels. Similar style to Selosse, slightly oxidative and hints of sherry smell that Selosse have. Expressive and ripe array of Chardonnay fruits from Avize, ripe citrus, stone fruits and apples with smart undertone of oak toast. Nice purity and intensity. Not cheap nor easy to find, but supposedly there will be more volume next year. (90-91/100)

The 2015 Bizot Marsannay Clos du Roy is elegant and flamboyant. It offers a fresh and expressive array of high-toned new oak spices, polished fruits and rose petals. Like any Bizot wines, they tend to age faster than usual due to the lack of sulphuring. Feels 5-8 years older but incredibly fragrant and delicious. Light tannins with good length. Such a luscious expression of Marsannay. Drink now – 2030. (90+/100)
