2012. Superb. Just the right amount of reduction. Amazing precision. Nice delicacy.

Exemplary white burgundy, very fresh at 12 years old, still pale straw colored, but not too lean, open and seductive. Not sure if it is still being imported. Great producer.

Fruits blancs et un peu d’agrumes, abricots mais sans être du côté trop mur, belle acisibien dosée avec une très belle texture en bouche, délciieux et bien meilleur que la bouteille précédente. 91-92

White fruit and some citrus as well, apricots but not too ripe, gorgeous acidity with a very nice texture, good length and delicious finish, much better than the last bottle.

Beau nez citronné, touche de miel. Le vin est bon, manque un peu de vigueur et d’énergie même si il y a une belle richesse et rondeur, sans lourdeur. J’aurais aimé légèrement plus d’acidité. 89-90

Nice bottle, touch of lemon, some honey, lacks a touch of acidity and energy to go with the classy richness.
