PnP then drunk over three evenings, and it barely moved. Light golden yellow and clear. Expressive nose, a bit of butter, with herbal notes and pears and a bit of lily too. Elegant and beguiling. On the palate it starts with a certain roundness, but it immediately shows its mineral character with herbal notes mirroring the nose. Then the acidity drives the progression towards the very lively finish, with citrus fruit notes floating over a mineral and lightly spicy background. This was in great shape and seems to have many years ahead.

A successful 2011 with sufficient richness and plumpness of fruit despite a lighter weight. Lovely fun spice and wood notes. At peak.

Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Obelix - Chicago IL): Lean and bright with plenty of fresh enough orchard fruit, ending with a fun, nutty note.

La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY): Walk around tasting in 12/11/10 vertical. Bright and lean with apple and lemon. Also at its peak. Very classic.

Greenish yellow, very healthy colour for a 2011
Nose is very mineral dominated by typical Chassagne citrus notes, quite backward but this would be better if we had time to decant
Very fresh in the mouth, medium bodied, with excellent broadness and length - no sign of premox at all!
Love the wines from this fantastic winemaker!
