Light gold. medium viscosity. Nose of apricot, musk melon, lovely minerals, wet stones. Occasional whiffs of something almost like riesling petrol. After a while a touch of floral and nutmeg emerged. Rather creamy, lush mouthfeel. A slight tartness, maybe more from wood than acid. Rather long finish with a bit too much bite, but altogether quite an impressive wine for the appellation and price. Had with a sesame and poppy seed encrusted halibut and haricot verts at home. Works well with food or alone.

taste: youthful on the palate with medium+ acidity that provide well defined tones of wet stones, apples, loads of minerals, and some smokey tones
overall: a very interesting and fun wine to taste. There is a chassagne aspect to it while having a more puligny-like feel. Very different and very interesting at the same time that really draws me in

Clear, medium gold color. Nose: Clean, medium melon, perfume, asparagus, & a touch of funk. Palate: Dry. Low acidity. Medium bodied. Slight creaminess, vegetal greenness (asparagus, cucumber), melon. Moderate finish length. A good wine but not consistant for the price. Lacks persersonality. Should have had more complexity. Disappointing. 13% alco, cork (D 6.5, F 5.5; SoPo, Martine)

Martine's Wines Portfolio tasting (MK, Chicago IL): nose: really good depth with a nice smokey backdrop along with tnoes of nuts, loads of minerals, wet stones and nice tart apple tones
taste: youthful on the palate with medium+ acidity that provide well defined tones of wet stones, apples, loads of minerals, and some smokey tones
overall: a very interesting and fun wine to taste. There is a chassagne aspect to it while having a more puligny-like feel. Very different and very interesting at the same time that really draws me in

Really fine tasting Burgundy from a lower pedigree appellation. Tasted like a Puligy or Chassagne.
