Apr 1st, 2016Golden straw, medium- viscosity. Nose is powerful with notes of honeysuckle, ripe red pear, underripe green apples, malo. Large mouthfeel, medium+ acid, long finish. Delightful wine!!

Aug 8th, 2016Delicious white burgundy. Very prominent (more than you'd expect I think from a French Chardonnay) yet restrained oak that is balanced well by white fruits, lemon, white flowers and minerality. Medium+ mouthfeel. A treat.

Jun 19th, 2016Dark straw color. More evolved than I would have expected. Alcohol pokes out a bit. Some nice white flowers and underripe pineapple.

Dec 10th, 2015Good acidity and aroma. Has a bit more body than other burgundy chards I've had, and a bit of fruit as well. Probably goes better with a chicken/turkey/pork or maybe even duck with some kind of fruity sauce/flavors rather than the roasted chicken we ate with it. Overall quite nice though.
