Pale yellow with a lovely fresh expressive nose of citrus and toast. On the palate it retains its freshness and fruit, but lacks the mineral and acidic backbone that is the hall mark of top notch Chassagne. Having said that, it is still a delicious bottle of wine on the 'feminine' end of the spectrum. Whether it will add weight in due course remains to be seen, but it's a lovely, smooth wine to drink now. Recommended. Estimated maturity: 2010-2014.

Blinds with Kirk and Tooch (Portland, ME): WHITE 2 Light gold - vibrant in the glass. Slight sulfur - beneath it, hints of citrus. Palate: super-strong tartaric acid. Clean. Super good. Fat, med+ body. Yet also ripe, elegant, classy. Really interesting nose, but low-intensity.
post-reveal: a Kermit Lynch wine.

Nice clean refreshing citrus on the palate. The nose was lemon, smoke and some peach. A pleasure to drink
