  Smoky mineral reduction and lemon fruit greet the nose. The palate is relatively lean and compact. There's a hint of mint and a seriously chalky finish that possesses excellent cut. Could do with a couple of years in the cellar.

  The slightly popcorn-y reduction on the nose here is very heavy, by far the most dominant element. Supporting roles are played by freshly squeezed lemon and faint oaky tones. On the palate it is bone dry with quite good volume and remarkable intensity. Feels like it is immediately going hard for the enamel of my teeth, packing admirable acidity. Things get mouth-puckering quickly and the tangy finish goes on and on. A take-no-prisoners kind of a wine for sure, I wouldn’t dare to serve this to any casual visitors at our household. Personally I have little problem sipping this even if it comes off as an adult version of those immensely sour, borderline painful fruit candies I used to enjoy as a small boy but some might find it unbalanced.
  
  Day 2: A significant change overnight. The reduction is largely gone from the nose which remains very lemony with notes of lees, iodine and just a hint of oak. Very bright and attractively delicate. The palate is markedly less intense and all the better for it. The very judicious oak complements the restrained citrusy flavors very nicely. Doesn’t have a lot of edge now but comes off as a very well balanced, enjoyable wine.

  Pale lemon green.
  Quite mute on the nose, some lime, sea spray, gravel and biscuit.
  Very nice structure. High acidity, medium body. Lovely salty palette, lemon and lime, stone, green apple. Long mineral finish.
  
  Not very complex, but cool and charming.

  Mouchonnat Annual Off-Tasting - Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Beaune): Walk around tasting. Rich and wonderfully charming with good balance despite being on the fleshy side.
