  Color was a very pale golden hue. Nose started with some struck match stick, and went into the lemony mousse, and tropical fruits. Followed by bright acidity, and more of those lemony mousse characteristics.
  
  All agreed this was best white of the night and went perfectly with he lemon ricotta filled ravioli's covered with king crab meat chunks with a lemon cream sauce at Convivo. A match made in heaven!

  Elements of Wine 2020 - My Class at GnG; 8/30/2020-12/27/2020 (Grapes & Grains, Temecula, CA): After Coravinning this wine in mid-July, I finally got around to opening the bottle for my Burgundy masterclass. This wine shows a level of Chardonnay depth, complexity, and richness that makes me want to only drink white Burgundy going forward. Sulpher like aromas blow away to reveal poached pear, honey, acacia, chamomile, and baked apples. The rich, layered palate delivers peach, flint, buttered toast, vanilla bean, anise, and a long, lingering finish. A wow wine for me!
  
  The Les Chenevottes premiere cru vineyard is literally across the street from the Grand Cru Montrachet sites. I can't even imagine how good those Chardonnays must be.

  agree with other comments. strong off-putting matchstick quality, but otherwise, underneath, a round full bodied wine with good mouthfeel, will wait on the rest of the bottles.

  I think this is quite good but was overwhelmed by the Sulphur. IF you are going to drink this soon, then decant and give it lots of air or otherwise leave it alone and let it better integrate
