These wines, starting with this one in the "lower tier" of the range, are all spectacular and may be the best value (for now) and quality in white Burgundy. This is what CA chardonnay should aspire to be - some flinty reduction, richness from the oak, but balanced by a core of acidity, white and yellow fruits and frankly it's just really tasty. This non 1er cru lacks the complexity and depth of the greater bottlings, but embarrasses many other producers' villages and even some 1er crus of more famous cote d de Beaune brethren.

This is very young. Clearly built for cellaring, the wood is still present. The palate is however already appealing, on the very dry, mineral side with a nice savory touch on the finish. Super curious to see how this will evolve

Lovely white burgundy. Struck match and flint with minerality, but also quite a lot of toasty wood and green melon. Super easy to drink and worked wonderfully with the ham and turkey at Christmas! Finish is pretty long too which lifts this up a notch. Could have been a touch more complex.

White fruit and citrus. Certainly tasty and a good wine, though a bit on the lean, tart side initially. It did round out with air. I'd hold for a bit based on this experience.

Tasted blind. This was very good. Lots of lemon and flinty notes. Creamy palate. I guessed Meursult 1er Cru.
