Jul 12th, 2023Complex nose, spicey oak, green apple, gorgeous minerality, terrific spice, amazing deep minerality and a stunning expansiveness. Really wonderful white burgundy symphony on the nose. Just unreal. What a nose. Tree bark, dry soil. Just stunning. Wow. Juicy, energetic, luscious, fresh, vital, elegant, complex. Wow. What a wine. Just gorgeous. Maybe best Monthelie Blanc I’ve ever had from Boussey. Explosive and wonderful. Spicey as well. A brilliant bottle. Finish is epic.

Feb 15th, 2022Nose has butter, some sweet wood and glorious minerals. Gorgeous lime zest. Apple spice as well. So clean and complex. Palate is gorgeous. Incredibly integrated and super mineral. Hint of wood and gobs of apple and pear fruit accented by gorgeous minerality. Juicy and so refined. Dazzling purity and freshness. Terrific depth. Brilliant wine.

Jul 28th, 2020@Delectable Wine this is same vineyard except it’s Chardonnay. I love this wine. And I love this site. Nose is complex, buttery and rich with intense minerality. Smells like Meursault. Awesome minerality. So rocky and also earthy. Palate is dense, juicy and so explosive. So pure and juicy with tiny berry fruit intensity. Finishes mineral and very sappy. So good. Long. Needs an hour to integrate. But another 2018 winner. Such freshness and purity.

Rich fruit, acidity tempering the opulence. Buttery, tightly wound, refracted minerality.
