Not bad, but I’d take the 17’ Leflaive Bourgogne any day over this. I liked how complex the nose was, and that it was textural and quite mineral, but I just couldn’t stand how sweet-fruited and oily the profile was. Very clearly a warm vintage Burg. Then again, Amiot does make more generous Chardonnay’s. Not for me, but I’d recommend this over any butter ball to lovers of “smash-mouth” wines.

Solid. Floral spice, lean fruit, tart sour minerality, beautifully integrated oak. 09 vintage showing great, sour fruit, sweet oak, lean limestone finish.

Really good. Some tropical notes. Round and rich. Needed some air to show its best. Glad I have another one!

This and the same 2012 were both delicious. 11 was more round, the 12 had more verve.
