Needs drinking over the next year but still perfectly enjoyable. Very developed but this bottle has held its condition well.
Acidity has softened and the flavours from the oak and MLF are intense on the palate. Loads of vanilla and toast but still some fruit to it. This has aged surprisingly well- it isn’t going to get any better but if you like your burgundies with a bit of bottle age this is a very good wine for the price paid.

This "entry-level" white Burgundy has put on weight during the past year. Now straw-colored, it retains a nose of lime, lychee and wet stones, but adds an element of kiwi. Light-bodied, crisp and with nicely-integrated alcohol (listed as 13%), it follows with similar flavors as for the nose. Solid in the middle, it concludes with a medium-length, juicy finish. Excellent value here! Drink now-2015.

Although tasted in a different context, my impressions are essentially unchanged from those of 11/9/12. This is a crisp, clean Chardonnay which drinks well as an apéritif or with light fare. Enjoy it over the next couple of years. Drink now-2015.

Light, simple, and delicious. Some crisp citrus, some chalky minerality, and a whole lot of satisfaction.
