Ok. Have a bad day. Open this wine. Drink it. I challenge you to stay upset. This wine is just consistently pleasurable. A awesome juicy fruit. Nice finish. It's so good. If you can't appreciate this there is no joy in you. Bought happily from Fass selections. Nice job Lyle.

"Dude, where's my car?" This is incredibly good. Balanced between mineral bite and fruit. Nice long finish to boot. Heck, a great value in Vezelay! Thanks @Lyle Fass

The 2014 is sizzle and the steak. Deelish and great great value. Slight oak on nose, apples, pears. Palate is fresh and vibrant. Yet rich as the name suggests. Juicy and deep. Terrific wine and just makes you happy.

In a great place. Nose is round and creamy with a nice mineral depth. Palate is round and deep with nice acidity and and explosive citrus thing happening on the finish. Very pure and clean. Delicious.

Simply delicious. One of the best value white burgs from the outskirts out there. Lemon zest, green apple, Palate is deep, complex and ripe. Pure pleasure. Exquisite balance and texture almost like icing. Awesome showing.

Easy going nose nose of pears, apples and mellow minerals. Palate is complex and mineral with nice mid palate depth and weight. Good concentration and lovely mineral finish. Terrific texture.

Big, ripe nose of pear, dusty earth and some nice minerals. Palate is big, opulent, ripe and glyceril with good acid cut and a nice mineral flourish on the mid palate and finish. Very impressive showing and drinking very well now after a PNP.

I love this estate. Quality wines with exquisite purity, fruit and balance. Some of my favorite everyday wines. Terrific showing and mix between opulence and acid/mineral.

Oldest vines in the vineyard. 30 years. Low yields. 20% new oak. 80% old oak. Good structure. Great volume in the mouth. Purity and balance. Great acidity.
