Really a wonderful St J and a crazy value as a 2nd wine. Lovely pairing with roast rack of lamb with garlic / rosemary / mustard. In a good window but could take more time honestly. Wonderful acid, quite deep fruit, long finish, tannins still very there, delicious. — 2 months ago

Burgundy; Maconnais, Poiully-Fuissé, France
(92-94; drink 2017-27+)
Nose has recently cut yellow apple, fresh pineapple, cane sugar and faint beeswax.
Palate has tart/under-ripe pineapple/yellow apple, lemon zest with mild chalky notes; plenty of acid to keep the palate lively. A great vintage for white Burgundy; A standout bottle from a heavily diminished case.
Paired with boneless chicken thighs, gnocchi, Parmesan cream sauce and kale from the garden (picked today, January!). — 4 months ago
Lovely Saturday wine - with it being on the younger side, it benefited from being decanted and it really took off after around 45 minutes - strong notes of leather and oak and full of flavour — 4 months ago
Elegant fresh and balanced all the way thru. Nice and long finish. 94-95 — 4 hours ago
2018: Well balanced, still young Burgundian wine. Fresh, clean, great nose and palate from start. — 2 months ago
