L'Etoile Chardonnay

Tangy lemon, bitter grapefruit, apple cider, wet stones, a touch of browned butter and vanilla. Slight nutty oxidized finish. Liking this Jura chard but I’m still a hard pass on savagnin

Bit oxidized. Quite different and interesting.

Really enjoyed this - like a long, generous but lean young Burgundy. Pale lemon-green colour, lemon zest, white almond, nougat, chalk dust and a touch of cream on nose, then very clean light- to medium-bodied palate, great line and length, high but soft acidity and the wine packing plenty of fruit and complexity into its tight frame, finishing long and with chalk stone minerality.

Meh. This should not be so oxidized. Not bad but not even remotely what I wanted.

This is really good. Salty, star-fossily

Pure, lack of acidity

Flint, funk, appleskin, lemonzest, hazelnut and saline minerality.
Terrific!

Dry and earthy. Matches well with mushroom dishes.
