Jolie bouteille avec une vraie personnalité. J’ai voulu l’ouvrir après la dégustation du dernier millésime (2022) qui m’a intéressé. Elle tient toutes ses promesses (surtout pour un HCN) qui plus est dans un millésime parfois décrié en blanc. Belle sapidité et bon équilibre minéralité / maturité. L’élevage (un peu démonstratif dans sa jeunesse) est maintenant parfaitement intégré.

unique wine from monopole, high-altitude vineyard directly west of grand cru Echezeaux; ripe, roasted pear, almond, pie crust; golden color, mature but not over the hill; this wine is much more about the quality of the producer than of the humble appellation

Another excellent bottle of this really good QPR. Meo for less than $30?!?!?! Montrachet this is not, but it's darn good wine. Good fruit, not a ton of wood, great minerality and crisp acidity - well balanced. Not incredibly complex and the finish is a bit short.

Very enjoyable white burg - crunchy minerality, savory, nice weight on the palate. The minerality gives it a lot of complexity upfront. We also detected some artichokes (?!), white peaches and lime on the palate. Feels very young, but enjoyable. I read in Bill Nanson's report that this site tends to struggle to achieve ripeness in cool years, but in a warm 2006, this is singing. Recommended.

Meilleur vin blanc de la cave. Note d'agrumes, pamplemousse. Couleur dorée.
