  Super déçu! Il a tout pour être bon, une belle amplitude, du minéral, une longueur plus que correcte, mais que c'est boisé! Ce fût, perceptible il y a 5 ans et vraiment désagréable, je pensais qu'il se fondrait, qu'avec le temps le raisin et le terroir prendraient le dessus.. Et bien non, il a encore dominé les débats et je crains qu'il ait gagné la partie sur ce millésime.
  Dommage, nous avions là un joli chardonnay du mâconnais, mûr, tendu, salin, pâtissier sans lourdeur...
  Fichue barrique...

  Pale gold. Nose w butter, nuts, minerals, apples, citrus. Almost full-bodied, fat, ripe apples, minerals, lots of oak in the middle. Good acidity. Fairly long aftertaste w minerals. Still fresh, but I would drink up within a year.

  Buttered popcorn on the nose! Lovely wine, fresh and zesty. Well balanced with floral, fruity and mineral notes. Decent length. Refreshing.

  Brilliant, pale gold in the glass. Smells of minerals, fruit (esp honeydew) and a whiff of floral. Taste of butter initially before exploding to more glorious fruit in the mouth with an after taste of lime and citrus. Good length. Went really well with oven baked chicken in butter & thyme.
