  Nicely aged Montrachet. Nose of pears, green apples, lemon curd, pineapple with hints of almonds and acacia and warm brioche, overall nose is rather subtle but very complex. Palate is of lemons, apples, vanilla and pineappple with hints of butterscotch and with piercing acidity to balance richness and minerality of flintstone on the finish. Medium to long finish. Loved it. Better than current reviews suggest. Very contrasting to fruity Cali Chardonnays.

However, I've tried several bottles from 2014 that have underperformed, including this one. A bouquet of brioche, lemon, clotted cream and peach. On palate, pears and peaches, with a little blanched almond, and quite nice minerality. Decent acidity but a little dull and flat seeming, across the mid palate.

However, the Chartron, beside it, was there already ...
