deep gold color. nose with butter, apples, seashell, and crushed rock. full bodied with good acidity. nice, rounded mouthfeel. ripe golden apple, gold raisin, and cleansing stone on the palate. finishes long with a clean lingering citrus. good focus and richness but lacks complexity.

A "Burgundian" Dinner (Chez Nick): Stony nose, rather grown-up and authoritative. Such lovely balance on the palate, with limey fruit and a touch of something savoury, buttery yet bitter, something mealy to provide amplitude on the midpalate, and a long finish. My favourite white tonight, and a producer I'll look out for.

A Burgundian evening at Nick's (Chez Nick): A little muted, brine and stones. Opens to become rounder, but not buttery, and is never as expressive as I feel it should be. It's good wine, well made, but doesn't to me really fit in the California bucket. It's quite pleasant, I like it, but is missing something that I can't put my finger on unless it's excitement. Maybe it too needs more time.

Burgundian dinner (Chez Nick): Shy nose: orange and nutmeg, ginger, wet stone and a honeyed note. Vertical and tart palate: fleeting. Underwhelming for me, although it did seem to become more expressive with time.

Nick's Burgundian dinner (North London): This come across as quite serious and reserved on the nose with some sea spray and iodine. With time gives a little bit more with clean pineapple notes. Palate has some weight and an undefinable savoury element but flavours seem a bit reticent to me. Not sure about this one.
