Plantain and lemon verbena. Corn muffin with jalapeño, lemon pith, chive and white grapefruit peel. Powerhouse citrus rush and laser lemon oil expression. Yeasty entry proves feint-worthy as it tightens to key lime and complex lemon pulp iteration, tangerine pulp, unripe pineapple. Rich as madeleine at moments, then racy citrus and pith-dry to finish.

Rich style from a vintage made for whites! Champagne beurre Blanc, grilled pineapple, lemon panna cotta, brioche soaked in olive oil, magnolia, honeysuckle, yuzu, mirin, and noshi pear give it a Japanese aspect; ginkgo follows mold. Creamy mouthfeel kept honest by nice acid and lime padding with pith the pile lining. Lemon oil, lemon panna cotta and beurre blanc soaked brioche complete the picture from a stellar wine!

Softest golden straw with glints of green gold. Hint of gunpowder melts to reveal a pudding-soft, dried lychee which peels away to white roses, citrus pith and avocado cloud glistening with flintlock shavings in ginkgo shade. Extraordinary palate leans hard into a soft wall of olive, evaporating lemon oils, cottonseed oil, and lime nodules. Tangerine-pear impossibilities flower, riveting the tongue with pithy, zesty, and blossoming evocations. Ginger, tea and nano bits of Wrigley’s original juicy fruit.

Pale gold. Slight gunpowder before lemon and lime pith and juices with a spiciness. Racy lemon with white pepper notes and chive essence.

Sun baked lemon, toasted sesame, light cap smoke, lime pith, lemon zest and dried sunflower. Tertiary smells of mown dry grasses and hibiscus. Fresh lemon juice soaked white gooseberry zaps the palate into salivation even as the gunpowder alights. Lime pith honestly reflects the nose and lemon oils persist. Puréed green mango, and chive butter droplet peer just detectable.

Pale golden straw. Immediate whiff of gunpowder wafts past lemon zest and warm juice undercoats; lemon verbena, living sage, chive, and colored pencil. Palatal silk evaporates to spongey pith of lime in a magically, porously, dry transformation shimmering with crystalline suggestions and smoky allusions.long and heartfelt reverberations beyond its last drops.

Wholly classic #chablis - tart lemon, wet stone on nose, bracing acidity on the palate, gets more delicious as it warms, not as textured as a Premier Cru but a delicious #bourgogneblanc with strong QPR, nonetheless. — 2 years ago

Exquisite lemon-lime interlace couched in pith exemplifies the stated, but somehow simultaneously highlights a rounder, olive-floral, cherry and pear blossom otherness. Rich palate drives an olive and lemon oil union straight into an interesting baked lemon flattening with bright acid dichotomy. Incredible depth and infinite layers of stunning complexity. Needs many more years, but wow.

Cherry blossom, lemon zest, whiff of powder, lime pith candied grapefruit nose. Lemon tart, lemon verbena and lemongrass emerge from warm lemon depths. Chalky and precise, this producer delivers a very pointed and yet complex offering evoking salivation and reverberating with cool herbaceous undertones.

2007 Lime, lime pith and lemon peel hold strong despite age. Lemon madeleines, orange oil, tangerine pith, lemongrass, evergreen. Orange peel, lemon oil and lemongrass forefront, while lime neutralizes to background color green olive swims in the lime, chamomile, kefir lime, grape leaf, crystalline salinity. Bright and ripe after 15 years!

2017. Soft lemon verbena and lemon panna -cotta notes; hint of lychee, lime zest and white pepper, but geared up on a cocktail of grapefruit and grenadine, with ginkgo fruit. Plush, lush and round nose. Lemon lime juices and zests waver between racy and ripe. Lemon pith is the lining. Tight and green in many ways but very enjoyable now!

Green gold glinting diamond. Cap smoke, toasted sesame, wildflower honey crystallized, snap pea, chive, lime racing around lemon and zesty crystal droplets stratifying aromatically. Incredible lime zest and essence over lemon verbena, lemon pastry puff, and carnation petal. Amazing in every way.

Drink this one too cold and it will fall flat. Let it warm up in the glass closer to 60° to 65°F and it comes alive. Interestingly not a very expressive nose at all, some muted lemon, orchard fruit notes. On the palate it is delicious with mouthwatering acidity, subtle lemon, beeswax, lanolin and some nicely integrated spicy notes on the finish from new oak. ~$11 #costcowine - seems like you’re only giving up aromatics at a daily drinker #bourgogneblanc price. — 3 years ago

The smoke hasn’t cleared on this battle worn soldier. Really strong sense of gun powder! Volatilize, and peeks of lime pith or lemon verbena squeeze through the cracks like light in your lashes, revealing pepper and pecan shell, black mushroom spores and elm, with cigar sweetness and black lime on a smoky battlefield. Palate is lime pith and zest and oil and candied lime sparkles floating down a lemon juice river, with thick, thick lemon pith banks. Kind of a gangly age here, but showing depth and intensity. Need to see this one when it matures, sculpted like an Olympian.

Merely good #chablis - still delicious with dried lemon, crushed oyster shell nose, distinctive precise Chablisienne acidity, atypically smells like some neutral oak and resultant spice on the finish versus my QPR benchmark Kirkland Signature Premier Cru but solid #bourgogneblanc nonetheless. — 3 years ago

Plenty of crushed oyster shell, hints of lemon oil and yellow orchard fruit on the nose. Nice interplay between creamy palate texture and acidity, intriguing zippy white pepper on mid-palate, pleasantly bitter lemon pith on the finish. Complex #mâcon #bourgogneblanc . — 4 years ago

Brioche with sea salt, white pineapple apparition, frozen butter, lemon grass and lemon oil, lemon-poppy muffin. Medium mouthfeel boasts a creamy lemon curd, lemon pith, candied peel, tangerine, and sage backnote.

Lemon custard narrows on the nose to Meyer lemon pith, lime zest, pomelo, gun flint glints with alumina, marmalade mix. Tart lemon palate puckers to a kiss of lemongrass awash in a lemon-lime sea of brine; spongey lemon pith finish.
