Compared to the Chassagne, this was less dressed up but just as intense; and was a little more compelling, but neither moved me. Fruit-forward on the nose, with ripe lemons and stone fruits taking center stage. Some beeswax and autolytic notes add complexity. The palate was very textural and stony, especially with air. All in all a delicious Chard, but it just didn’t stand out during the night.

Complex nose. I got mineral, fruit, hints of petroleum and yeast, even some spice. On the palate it hade a nice roundness, lots of acidity and a bit of oak. Not convinced they used oak this year but it's what I tasted.

Lovely medium bodied Pouilly Loche. Great acidity, balanced, fresh. Punches above it’s weight

M+ acidity, subdued fruit flavors with a bit of lemon and lime peel. Honeycomb and white flowers. Quite alcoholic/warming, mineral notes.

Bright and fresh-maybe the label has something to do with that. Has verve and tension. Acid streak from start to finish. Pithy with gobs if citrus fruits.
