Pale gold in color, with aromas of apple, pear, peach, lemon, gardenia, and melon, complemented by notes of wet stones, vanilla, and brioche. Dry, with medium acidity and a medium body, this wine is balanced and elegant, with subtle oak adding a layer of complexity.

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. — a month ago
This bottle knocked it out of the park! Beautifully balanced, white flowers, honeyed elegant with a superb finish perhaps the best version of this terroir I have had — 10 days 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! — a month ago
Presented double-blind. The wine appears a light straw color; medium viscosity with no signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of orchard fruit: apples, lemon curd, hot metal and a buttermilk thing. I think there is some oak? On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose and there is a leesy textural element. The finish is long and intensely mineral driven. I called Chardonnay from France, from Burgundy, from the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne- Montrachet, 2018. Well, well…I was close but it was the Chardonnay from the north and with some age!! And awesome showing. Drink now but this has years to go. — 24 days ago
Decanted for 30 minutes. Whilst elegant the bright yellow wine lacked complexity. But acceptable — a month 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. — 14 days ago
