  Hugely popular with my wife and our guest. Medium body, beautiful balance, lime scent, still young but easy to drink, good as an aperitif and with food.

  More than 5 years since I had a bottle of this and forgot I had a half a case in the back of the cellar. Surprisingly, I do not think the wine changed a lot and if anything it has improved. Brights deep yellow suggest some age but the nose and palate do not show that. Bright ripe lemon with and green apple notes, the palate is focused, intense and finish is long, very persistent. Very enjoyable and I expect it will stay that way for a while.

  This is a Jura chardonnay from Volnay's Marquis d'Angerville, which more closely resembles a Burgundy white than a Jura. Immediately identifiable as a chardonnay from the aroma, which is also evocative of the seashore, with a slaty salinity. To taste, the wine is lighter-bodied and rounder than expected, with moderate, nicely integrated acidity and a distinctive lime flavor, backed by some bitterness, and a chalky aftertaste. Complex and delicious. I bought this for $40 and I wish I had been able to buy a lot more.

  Pineapple, mango flavor, great balance. Drank with seafood risotto with white truffles. Couldn’t stop drinking til the bottle was empty!

  Superb. What a delight, a bit muted on open, but an hour later this was impressive with richness and length that was pure chardonnay pleasure. Great citrus/lemon, mineral, light yellow stone fruit, fine body with graceful palate as the richness melted away into a lingering, memorable finish. Really :) Served with sauteed soft shell crabs on pasta with fresh garden basil pesto and sautéed chard.
