Matchstick, creme brulee and lemon curd aromas. Bright and precise with a bit of a phenolic finish. Citrus and flint on the palate. Coming back to this- much more layered and nuanced after 4 hours. Should have decanted it...

Perfect temperature to reflect its subtle yet elegant characteristics of melon with just the right amount of tart.

Very tightly wound, dominated by oak still on the nose, but wow. There was a pepper seed aroma that was interesting. This wine needs 10+ years easy. 30,000 vines per hectare!

This is what I'm into. Better than premier cru should taste.

Lots of love for Olivier Lamy. Not a big deal, but the toast level of the barrel *really* shows in the nose at the moment. Lamy owns all of the 8.5 hectares of the La Chatenières vineyard. Overall: opulent.

Leans toward a mineral profile with some citrus notes. Quite enjoyable.
