Beautiful wine with in the bouquet minerals, smoke and fireworks. On the palate full bodied, a touch of sweetness and good, juicy acidity. The well dosed toasted oak makes it a special and luxurious wine if you like the style…. I do in this case.

Kraters for the trenchermen (Les 2 Garçons): Wasn't sure how well this would perform up against some bigger names, but I needn't have worried - it was one of the better wines of the day. Oddly, given the elevage is practically identical to a Cote d'Or white's, and it's grown on limestone, it did taste distinctively Jurassic. Deep, almost greenish gold. No reduction on the nose - just an intense nuttiness. Curry leaf and lime pickle on the thickly-textured palate, as well as shimmering yellow fruit, but no heat. Really delicious and food-friendly, and in a great place at the moment.

Color rather orangey/evolved for such a young wine. Nose of reduction, flint, curry leaves. Palate is tasty. Good finish with a slight bitterness balanced by salinity. Flat and more bitter the day after

Samples from Bill #5: Golden coloured. Sesame, nutty oxy character, stone fruit, saline notes and smoke. Palate is powerful with rich fruit and more smoky background notes, great length and texture here. Distinctive, individual Chardonnay that provides a lot of complexity and interest, drinking well now.
