Serve just above cellar temp, once it opens up this wine has so much going on. Racy and fast at first, calms down and shows grilled pineapple, matchstick and zesty citrus. Balanced wine across the entire palate. No hard edges, with green apple, lemon and lime custard and hint of that pineapple in the back of the palate. Fun wine as an aperitif-

Really lovely white Burgundy, on the lighter side. Elegant, nice minerality and mouthfeel. Tastes sophisticated...

Buttery with some spices and tangerine on the nose, exotic citrus fruits and minerals on the palate

Rich and round, upfront and mouth filling. Nice texture but a little short to finish. Salinity on the finish pulling the wine through.

Classic style, slight reduction, but a little one dimensional & lacking complexity.
