  Gold color with subtle cloudiness. White Burgundy nose - butter, camomile, oak, and a touch of minerality. Similar on the palate with above average depth and thickness. Just my style. A little more reserved and less refined than previous bottles.

  Happy Easter! Very similar flavors to my previous bottle, but showing subtle oxidation and age. Cork was almost soaked through but did it’s job. Dark gold color and very thick, deep wine. My style!

  Absolutely insane! Closest thing I’ve found to the ‘13 Faiveley Corton Charlemagne I rated 99 years ago! Gold color. Nose filled with butter, cream, and lemons. Similar on the palate with awesome balance. Medium plus depth and finish. Glad I buy this every year!

  A nice enjoyable chardonnay served with sushi. White flowers and lemon on the nose. The palate was pear, green apple, lemon with just a hint of oak. The finish was moderate to long.

  Translucent pale yellow in the glass. Nose of aromatics lemon butter cake, chinese pear & white flowers. Initial flavors of tart lemon, then opens up to zesty lemon curd pie followed with mild aromatic spice and hint of yellow ripe apples. This chard is not as oaky or buttery as I wanted it to be. However, it has a great energetic acidity, supple mouthfeel and I love that rounded elongated minerality finish towards the end.
