Deep gold colour. A lovely aroma of mature (but not elderly) chardonnay - creamy, lots of pastry and caramelised pear, a touch floral, with plenty of citrus. A lot of people talk about good aged champagne as resembling white burgundy, well this is the other way round for me - it smells like a 20-25 year old grande marque. Anyway, the taste is good: well integrated, with soft acidity, adequate fruit, and a slightly drying minerality. Truthfully, I'd prefer it if this had bubbles, but it's a very nice white wine, still in its prime. [Natural cork; 13.5% abv; Nickolls & Perks, £40].

Nice fresh apple cents on the nose, Palate was creamy, soft with good white fruit richness. Very nice wine, just got lost with so may wines the Boston Off line event.

(Jadot Louis Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains) Gold. Buttery nose which is sweet and wide. Lovely acidity. Very concentrated, intense even in the finish. A ‘bigger wine’ than most of the 2001’s.
