Clear light golden yellow color. Aromas of stone and tropical fruits. The palate shows peach and pineapple flavors with crispness noted. Traditional Unoaked style, this light body wine has high acidity, generous minerality and overall good structure and balance. The finish ends smooth. The 2013 was a tad better than 2012 and can get better with a few cellar years.

We enjoyed this wine. It was crisp and refreshing with some weight in the mid palette. It has all the elements of a good "Burgundian" style Chard. However, it does fall off a little bit in the back end with a slight mediciney taste. I must say though that I did not do a good job of pairing this wine appropriately. I am sure that it will be outstanding with a proper pairing.

Tried this again about a year later. Golden yellow with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with peach and citrus flavors, not as crisp as I remembered. Traditional Unoaked style, this light body wine has high acidity, big minerality and good balance. The finish ends smooth but lacked luster. Drink up aging will not improve. Tasting Sample.

Clean and crisp with medium mineral quality. Unoaked. Finish is not incredibly long. Complexity is nice - it’s worth chewing and savoring. Will buy again.

Tart, a bit one dimensional. Was hoping for more minerality, ands bit more balance.

Light citrus smooth to drink. Floral nose with a bit of petrol smell.
