Pale golden lemon color with aromas of fresh fruit, citrus zest and nutty floral notes, very elegant. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and yeasty notes with a bit of nutty oak. Nice acidity, well balanced ending with a chalky mineral and slight smoky oak character. Enjoyable. Will age well!

Crisp and bright but super expansive on the palate. Understated elegance.

2020 vintage. 375 ml bottle. Tasted after 30 minutes open. Medium body. Some ripeness buttressed by remaining acidity. Had picked up 5 cases of this 2.75 years ago with a dearth of white Burgundy half bottles due to the truncated 2021 and 2022 vintages. Down to a case. Not a fave producer but they often deliver in the absence of other, potential offerings. Showing well currently. 5.31.26.
