I am not a Chardonnay drinker but this was exceptional. — a month ago
A balance of fruitiness and earthiness (forest floor) in the aromas, light on the palate with smooth acidity, soft tannins that build in slowly and then linger, and that same balance of fruit and mushroomy, forest floor earthiness. — 2 months ago
Got this in a collector club wine package. Hints of jam, spice and leather. I had this at dinner with a strip steak prepared with thyme, rosemary, garlic and compound butter. The pairing was perfect and the wine didn’t see the next day’s sunrise. — 3 months ago
This is the Chanson/Bastion G-C…decanted 90 mins….lovely Burgh, very refined/subdued, but lacks depth to me, turned a bit sour late. Maybe a bit more earth than I like? Really lingering over it. J loves it — 2 months ago

This veers towards the Sozet school rather then the Beliando/Fauterie school. Mesmerizing nose of game, herbs, lavender, fresh tweed, blackberry, smoked meats, gravy, just impossibly complex and super super stunning. The black fruits are crystalline and focused. Wow. What purity. The lavender top note is truly spectacular. Palate is superb. Sweet fruited and with all kinds of freshness. Super acids. It’s 18 so there is a wall of tannin and also huge god level minerality. Olives galore on the palate. Stunning. But man does this need air. I’ll be back. Wow the energy on this wine is just incredible. Nose is crazy mineral now after 3 hours. Palate has picked up heft and minerality. So juicy. The most backwards young but maybe the most promising young vintage so far. — 13 days ago
