  Last bottle of four purchased. This really developed nicely and showed better with food than without. Moderately aromatic, nuanced, and balanced. Based upon residual acidity, and good cellaring practices this should last well into 2019. All the corks were tight and none of the bottles showed signs of premox. 91 points.

  Drinking really well for an almost 10 year old Chardonnay. This experience was totally consistent wit my prior notes in both 2012 and 2016. Totally integrated oak, fruit and acidity, showing lots of finesse, elegance, and class. If stored properly, this has another 1-2 years left. Can't beat the $28 price for a 1st (Premier) Cru Chardonnay from this AOC.

  It's been 3-1/2 years since my last foray with this wine. Based on my prior experience, I poured it into a chilling carafe to allow it to open while maintaining temperature. Still a bright medium golden color with a medium body. At close to nine years, this is still drinking well, not showing any of the signs of oxidation that I've seen recently with a number of similar quality, mid-age White Burgundies and California Chardonnays. Initially a bit tight, but air and a slight rise in temperature brings this to life. Nice balance of spicy apple, ripe pear, juicy melon, underscored with some butter, vanilla, and salty minerality. A bit of oak which blows off with air. Starting to round out, but there's still acidity to support a nice lingering finish for a few more years of proper cellaring. Should be good for at least two more years and under good conditions beyond. Cork was perfect with signs of oxygen intrusion or wine leakage. Works with or without food.
