Quite light salmon pink , light hint of copper . Really elegant with light strawberry hints , oyster shell , red currant , lemon rind , chalky hints . On the palate this is elegant again , red currant , rose water , strawberry , oyster shell , chalky hints and orange pith. Good body , quite nice density but really good length , with a red fruited , orange rind , chalky , oyster shell finish . This is obviously young , but the extra rounded fruit makes this enjoyable now . However will improve over the next 5-10 years and last well a further 10 or so . Very complete . — 9 days ago

Definitely get the notes of strawberry, not so much the spice which I definitely don’t mind. Not too dry but not super sweet a very smooth finish. Definitely top 5 so far! — a day ago

This is being served colder than I would like and that said, the nose is not all that expressive. There is green apple, stone fruits, Meyer lemon to notes of lemon pledge, lime pulp, ripe, juicy pineapple, limestone marl, notes of marmalade, honeysuckle, light butterscotch, yellow lilies/flowers, white flowers.

The palate has a clean, round smooth entry. It is good but it tastes restrained to me. Maybe, the cool temp. Green apple, stone fruits-apricots, yellow peach/nectarine, Meyer lemon to a touch of lemon pledge, lime pulp, ripe, juicy pineapple, kiwi, green melon, notes of marmalade, honeysuckle, more pronounced butterscotch, caramel as it warms up, vanillin, gentle chalky powder, limestone marl, grey volcanic minerals, white spice, herbaceous hues, yellow lilies/flowers, white flowers with greens, nice round acidity, the finish is well balanced, round & elegant, a bit viscous and lasts about a minute.

I’ve had a number of producers from CC. I have had multiple vintages of LL’s CC and it simply doesn’t deliver like some of the other producers I’ve had that make white from CC. For me, it’s a nice wine but has often underwhelmed given the terroir.

I have had good vintages of white Bourgogne’s that show this nicely and better.
