La Croix Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay

While a lot of oak is used in the making of this wine it is not so perceptible on the palate unless you count the oxygen impact from the long elevage. Freshness, along with the long skin and lees contact lead in the flavor and aroma department. Cheese, cheese rind, primary and tertiary citrus and orchard fruits play a tug of war. Great now but going to wait a few years more on this vintage. 92++

Have had mixed experiences with Denogent - well made but sometimes the oak has dominated. Not so with this bottle; elegant and balanced.

I like this wine but the oak is a little over the top(wish I could dial it back) nice apple fruit lees nice acidity

Baked apples and butter creamy leesy rich oily medium bodied

Maison Urtix Nights

Very good but needs time for the oak to better integrate.

The bottle of this I had last week was much better. Too much perfumed oak on this one. Is there more bottle variation with half-bottles? (Both were 375ml)

Premox, total sherry. But still enjoyable

Very minerally steely with a touch of oak.
