Domaines du Chateau de Beaune bottling, drank over three days. Incredibly balanced and fine; the first pour could be mistaken for a recent vintage with barely any mark on age. Rich white fruit, pear, tropical, pineapple curd, wild honey, orange flowers, light botrytis, light barnyard even woody. Perhaps not the most immediately opulent style but such sophistication, the brillance of which is even more evident on the palate with a spicy complication. One of those wines that will be among the greatest in another few decades. 96-97+

Tasted blind. Wow, WOTN and candidate for the best white I ever had, people at the table were blown away by the complexity of this. Aromas go far beyond Chard, citrus, stone fruit, herbs, flowers, dried meat. There is also a barnyardy, Rousseau-Pinot side to this nose within the off the Charts complexityof this wine. I am speechless.

More complex fruit expression, not as fresh and not showing much mineral component as the Sauzet. Another drink up wine 91
