  Light gold. Lemon butter on the nose (which sounds much better than buttery lemons.) On the palate: full, rounded, slightly blowsy. This feels old fashioned. Interesting...

  This Bourgogne Blanc from a typical Burgundy original and maybe excessive anti-modernist, we all know how scarce this wonderful stock is in Burgundy ;-), surprised me in a sustainable and exultant way. The colour was very regular medium pale yellow. Nothing extraordinary about that. The bouquet appeared to me not as feeble as sooooo many Bourgogne Blancs. It showed hearty scents of lemons + some peels, slight apricot, plenty of classic herbs and delicate oak. The tasted was 100% Chardonnay juice! Very hearty, very pithy flavours of ripe lemons, perhaps even over ripe ones, some indications of juvenile apricots, some egg yolk, some simple pastries and maybe hints of dextrose and clear grapeiness. Surly not a grand Chardonnay from a whatsoever fantastic Burgundy prime location. Not a very complex or refined Chardonnay either, but a honest seeming wine with a buttload of character. Definitely a rebuy - very good QPR!
