Great value! Made with the same care as the Chassagne, at half the price! Beautifully balanced, exotic minerals, stone fruits a lil reduction, the good kind 😏 great acidity

Really flabby out of the gate. Acid is gobbled up by the extracted texture. Seems really oaky yet, I'm told no new wood is used..After 1hr the mineral character breaks through the steel vail of SO2. Needs to be decanted.

Racy citrus nose w some SO2 burn. Palate has a little alcohol and is a little fat. Still has a Stoney-ness that I like

This is excellent! Lemony and minerally. Has depth and persistence.

I prefer drier Chardonnay. This tastes like white grape juice.

Ain't no little engine like the one I got. This is a monster for the money.

Toffee. Popcorn kernel & butter (though no new oak used). Deep and rich with a streak of acid. Old vines, most of which are 100 years of age. On the second day it shows much more balance and clarity.
