  A Survey of Volnay (Chicago, IL): Bottled under screwcap. Extremely reductive on the nose, with an incredibly potent whiff of sulphur. Underneath, there is a little bit of sweet pear and other orchard fruits, as well as a slight green herbaceousness. The palate is lean and shows mostly acidity, and has somewhat underripe elements as well. Too lean and thin, without any counterbalancing ripeness and breadth.

  Wow, tres yummy. Vibrant and vivacious yellow glistening in a big bowl Chardonnay glass. Very inviting! Nose of smokey oak with lemon zest. Palate is rich, slightly toasty, fairly powerful citrus, bracing acidity. A little less fresh and more complex than most Saint-Aubins we have sipped in the past. Very happy Friday evening.

  A wonderful tasting at Vins des Tonneliers. Fresh, white fruit, nice balance.
