As with previous tastings, the nose comes across as compressed. Palate displays butterscotch, caramel and unusually for this producer. a hint of wet paper. Mid palate is dense and weighty with moderate sweetness and acidity. Nice citrus fruit profile with a hint of pears. Good, but I consider this bottle to be an outlier.

Nose is relaxed, while the palate is focused and balanced. Really nice citrus fruits combine with honeycomb and a hint of lanolin. Paired perfectly with foie gras. We love this the GC example.

My new find. Really enjoying the burg GC’s at the moment. No need to spend a kings ransom for excellence, either.
Refer to my prior notes.

Seamless and appears to have potential but struck me as coiled up, almost shut down. Complexity is there but just needs resolve, really want to revisit!

Very subtle and restrained. Needs a lot of time.

Good Chardonnay. Advanced in development. Lacks mineral verve.

Un peu mou! Sans grande complexité... Tout de même satisfaisant.

This had lemon, orchid fruit, wet stone, white flower that was rich on the palate with balanced acidity.
