Drunk at Hanse Stube, Excelsior Köln. Popped and poured. The cuvée from 70% Chardonnay and 30% Weißburgunder is developed in stainless steel tanks. The Chardonnay provides the spice, the Weissburgunder contributes power and melt. Decent scent of fresh meadow hay. Fine burgundy aromas, balanced, elegant and lively. 89+

I was too generous with my last score so this is to put things straight with my last bottle - this is not a 91 pointer but it is a Very Good wine! Perfect as an aperitif.

Re-taste after a blind tasting. Nose of lemonade and a touch of pomelo (the clue for chard'). Mouth lively with bubbles, matter, nice bitterness and elegant acidity. Long after taste on pomelo peal. Should have a unnoticeable residual sugar, but technically dry. Superb. Multi purpose wine, for palates or meals.

Late Apr 2018: very pale yellow color; intense peach and minor apple notes; well-balanced on the palate; round texture.

Two bottles (375 mL and 750 mL) in early and mid Feb 2016: fresh and fruity.
Very good, small price. This is our white everyday wine. Constant good performance over the last ten vintages.
