A simple, delicious and easy drinking wine with impeccable balance and poise. Smoke, pear, sugarcane and musty barrel. Very light and fresh in the mouth. A bit salty. An intriguing hint of bitterness. Took on some weight with time. Might improve over the next year or two. Couldn't quite stand up to kaiseki obento but, overall very enjoyable and I would love to try other offerings from Francois.

Light, but full of intensity and lip-smacking flavor.

Very strong Aligote. Crisp with abundant minerals and acidity. A close second per my taste to Guy Roulot's offering.

Very pale. Made in tank this year. Very sharp nose of so2. In the mouth it is fresh, light and crisp. Vines planted 1929 and 1948
