Very good. But showed relatively weakly in the French Chard extravaganza. Actually, the white burgs hoovered up the lowest rankings compared to the champagnes and the Juras.

Internationale du Goût - "Chardonnay Extravaganza" , unbridled exploration of French Chardonnay: Flight 5 pitting 2 Cote de Beaune 1ers from the same vintage. I found this a bit better, more complex and interesting than its flightmate PYCM Meursault Perrieres. Yet this could not match the verve, personality, poise, excitement that the top Champagnes had delivered in previous flights. This was also to be outclassed by the 2 Jura Chards that followed with their more singular personalities. Comparative tasting is most unfair though. Fads and group-think momentum play their part. This is still a producer i adore and doubtless I would have found lots of qualities and finer details had I drunk this on its own.

This is a beautiful Chardonnay in its prime. Very clean and with a good cut. Maybe a bit more complexity and a touch of minerality and salinity towards the finish is missing but overall it’s a very harmonious and complete wine.
TN: Intense, expressive nose with popcorn, butter, green apple, citrus rind and crushed rocks. Very inviting and itriguing, superbly delineated. On the palate the same expressiveness and aromas. Not hyper complex but high precison.Very round and with the perfect creaminess and a superb acidity kepping it fresh and creating good tension.
Decanting: A bit of air helps but no extensive decanting is necessary.

Tasted at Epicure in Paris. Fine toast, popcorn, melted butter a splash of lime juice, red apples, green apple with a nice mineral dimension and fresh herbs. It goes on with notes of caramel and a whiff of vanilla. On the amazingly rich and lush palate you’ll find a creamy texture along with the fresh acidity. Wouldn’t be surprised to see this getting even better.

Served blind, oaky chardonnay that can only be from Bourgogne. Some nice lemon peels, fudge and vanilla notes, high acidity.
