A rich but energetic Vaillons with some fat but good maybe decent acid and such freshness and energy. Delicious ripe minerality and an appealing lushness to it all. Nose is glorious seashells and some lime zest. — 18 days ago

Nose: elegant mushroom. Beautiful.

Palate: silky. Lemon flower. Subtly vibrant. Contained richness as this opens. A hint of spice.

Fine and filigreed.

Not super seashelly. Might guess chassagne blind. — a month ago

From magnum this wine was fresh, crisp, mineral, with delightful aromatics reminiscent of citrus. While perfect for the meal being consumed, I was more measured in my assessment of a score! — 2 months ago

9.1

Nice pale gold appearance in glass. Nose of apple, pear and melons . Dry, with good acidity on palate, plus tangy citrus flavours as well as good steely mineral hints.
Reasonable value with ever increasing Burgundy prices and expecting a high landed cost here in Oz for the recently released 23s so glad I have quite a few of these and some of this producers premier Crus
Just the taste for a sunny summer afternoon — a month ago

Unbelievable petite still delivers huge burst of fruit albeit a bit more restrained than bottles consumed last year. Beautiful bouquet of berries and earth promise great depth of flavor. The wine is brilliantly balanced and perfectly complemented pork tenderloin at Midway Mercantile. Enjoyed the dinner and wine immensely! — 3 months ago

9.2

Continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.

Beautiful honeysuckle notes, Meyer lemon and spring flowers on the nose.

The palate show a good presence of Meyer lemon right at the top. Butterscotch notes, honeysuckle-honey comb, apricots, yellow peach, ripe, syrupy pineapple, cream, slivered almonds, saline, flinty notes, limestone marl, toast, some soft white spices, lots of moist to mushy chalk, yellow & spring flowers, excellent, round acidity and a well made, elegant, round, lush, finish that lasts 90 seconds landing on spice & minerals.

This will merit another point of two with appropriate age but still hard to justify $240 a bottle. The strong lemon presence needs time to calm. — 2 months ago
