Great to see what winemakers can do in these tough vintages. Lovely pale color not hint of oxidation. ripe fruits with a nice mineral backbone and balance.

HDH auction tasting at Tru; 5/15/2015-5/16/2015 (Chicago, IL): Surprisingly light colour -- we were all pleasantly surprised by that. Yes, this is certainly a riper bottle of chardonnay, but this is quite restrained still, with no heat at all. Good minerality, and a slight bit of salinity on the back-end. Excellent drinking now, but I likely wouldn't bother aging this any more.

Tastevin 2010 AGM: A very nice wine. While this wine had a nice nose and reasonable balance. Compared to the 2001 and 2002 tasted at the same time this wine was not nearly as balanced and did not have the concentration of fruit or finish that the other Les Meix Chavaux's had. I also suspect that this wine will not last as long as the 2001 or 2002 so would recommend drinking soon.

A very nice mature chardonnay with no signs of oxidation, great fruit and balance.
