Blind by TA. Looked a little older that it was, but most were spot on with varietal and its Burgundian origin. Big wine, a little oxidative, racy acidity. Enjoyable but a little lost in the crowd on the night.

I've always found these wines to so over perform for the appellation, such intensity & finesse, great acidic backbone that's very rarely found this far south.

When Valette is on, it's on. The age has been nice to this. Honeyed, and full with lively acidity. A touch of oxidation, but it only adds to its complexity.

My favorite Maconnais grower kills it again with this sultry, deep, honeyed, mineral Pouilly-Fuisse. Rich and alive!
