This is what I want in a $35 village white burg on a Wednesday night. Such precision here with perfectly ripe citrus and orchard fruit, tasteful/minimal oak treatment that has nothing to prove, prickly acid, and length. There’s balance, clarity, and delicacy that’s rare at this price point.

Hay, lemon, milk, vanilla, nice typical chardonnay nose from lower burgundy. The palate is well balanced with a strong acid backbone, a nice texture with some grip and a silky, milky layer. Lemon all along and a tiny touch of exotic fruits while the temperature raises in the glass. Long lemony finish. Delivers exactly what's expected. Good Sunday night sip to close a sunny and warm weekend

For my personal taste it is too buttery in favour.

I'm Sick... drinking white in room temperature and it rocks, it's mineral and fruity at the same time - dry with perfect amount of acidity (higher but rounded up) - medium bodied, but it feel lights even warm. Yellow ripe grapefruit, with its characteristic bitterness and bit of harmonious oak notes like nuts, but definitely hard to notice oak in aroma, maybe some brioche aroma reveals it, but it might be also malolactic fermentation...Paired with Gripex :) Very good chard.
