Unusual at first taste, it really needed some air to line itself back up. Picked up notes of ox and redux simultaneously; nuts, sherry, flinty-ness. Fruit and acid were almost backwards at first. With it air it came into balanced and showed VC. Nice breadth but lacking the tension I expected for the vintage.

2024/5/1-3. A lovely, country gentleman type of white Burgundy, from a vintage I am particularly fond of (as I was 295¥ 2007 also). Generous yellow color. No apparent oak influence, but lots of lemon fruit and subtle, natural creaminess. The finish is both mineral and also bready - the taste that lingers after eating a good, classical sweet baguette.

On the nose burnt toast, buttered popcorn, rubber, cashews and asphalt. Popcorn comes through on the palate with black pepper. Meyer lemon on the mid. Spicy finish. Fab.

Lovely Chardonnay. Healthy oak, but not mouth drying and all the awesome, subtle inorganic complexity you love and expect from Bourgogne. Limestone, lemon, white flowers, apples. This wine has inspired me to drink more French chard- let me know if you have suggestions!
