  Beautiful, integrated flavors, ready both as plenty of age left. Excellent for a 2016.

  Diam cork. Medium gold yellow colour. On the nose, aromas of citrus, minerals, nuts. On the palate, the attack is frank, with the aromas as found on the nose with added clementine and peach. There is a slight impression of sweetness from the fruit. A good length on the mineral attributes. You can clearly recognise the terroir, though I must admit the balance, though really good, is not as good as for the 2017. But it still has some of the ethereal qualities of Caillerets, yet it is more advanced than I would have expected. Certainly ready to go today. Followup tasting the next day, oddly it seemed fresher, a tad more lively. I wouldn't worry about keeping this another 6 years at least.
  A solid 91 leaning into 92.

  A hint of reduction on the nose. The nose contains notes of apple, baked bread and white flowers. The palate is deep and concentrated with notes of ripe apple, pear, a touch of lemon and a streak of mineralite. Definitely a slightly richer white Burgundy but still has the acidity to stay more than in balance. A very nice premier cru.

  Buttercup yellow; restrained nose, citrus & vegetal edge; taut, clean fruit, fine finish. Underpowered. Is there enough here? Needs plenty more time?

  From magnum. The touch of oak here will likely be absorbed as there is real depth and density to the wine. The fruit is upfront but not excessive. Needs aging.
