On the nose - caramelised pineapple, toast, hazelnut, tropical fruit. Still fresh on the palate, medium- bodied, good into a medium finish but perhaps just a little bitterness. Very interesting and certainly not a generic chardonnay but just lacks some complexity and balance.

Clean and bright with fresh crisp apple flavors. Has more depth in the mid-palate than most of even the Lafon Macon wines. These are so enjoyable with a few years on them, but still maintain vigor in the finish.

Paler golden color. Notes of white flowers, some citrus, ripe peach, some sweet spices and also some nice oystershell kind of mineral note. It's medium-full bodied, creamy and pretty rich, but with a nice vein of medium-high acidity cutting through everything. Good length. A really delicious, hedonistic and beautiful Chardonnay that is punching way above its weight-class.

2018 Burgundy trip: White Burgs at the Bar, Le Bistro de L’Hôtel, Beaune: Pale gold. A bouquet with prominent creamy oak, poached pear, nectarine, almond paste and mandarin. On palate, a rich, opulent 2015-typical white Burgundy. White peach, blanched almonds and cashews, apricots with a creamy, lactic element. Big and bold. However, acceptable acidity. Hedonistic. I don’t expect this Clos du Four to be long-lived. Drink in the next 5-6 years.

Hedonistic is a great way to describe the wine. Ripe. A little flint. Creamy. Is not flabby, but would benefit from a little more acid.
