  Light golden color and both apple, pear and minerals. Lush in the mid palate with a bright clean finish. As I've written many times on these that it's the freshness of Macon with just a bit of the richness of a Meursault, but not the need to cellar it as long. Perfect for a roasted garlic tarragon chicken and some vegetables. Makes a simple summer meal feel more like dining out.

  Pale yellow, the wine is undoubtedly fresher than the 2013, as would be expected. Aromas of ripe baked apple, spiced pear, vanilla streak, and whipped cream.
  A crisp persistent mineral-edged acidity runs through the wine coated by delicious apple and Williams pear fruit fleshiness. No oak noted but it does have a spicy edge, the wine is not too broad and fruity led, with a lovely mineral edge of gentle wet stones. Fruity, uncomplicated fare with medium length.

  Nice balance of acid and fruit. Lovely.

  Acidity that tempers.
  
  Good balance. Good stuff.

  Yup, producer over appellation, almost every time. Rich, dense but kept taut by juicy acid, lightly reduced on the nose, layered with lightly buttered apples, slightly salty chalky minerals, and a bit of golden raisin on the end. Could pass for 1er Cru Meursault from a good producer!
