Brief notes. A better experience than my tasting in January 2026, although it was pretty good - I just wasn’t impressed with the QPR. This ticked all the boxes expected for a Premier Cru White Burgundy. Citric more than stone fruit. Everything in balance including the oak. From the excellent white burgundy vintage of 2014.

Very good but for a palate used to top quality Australian Chardonnay, not worth the value of $304 on Wine Searcher. A savoury lemony note - general citric notes. The palate was mid weight but with good intensity. Overall a delicate feel to the wine. Probably shows the class of the Les Pucelles Premier Cru vineyard. Have the last bottle in a year or two. Expected more from the 2014 vintage.

Beautiful, fully mature. Layers of interest.
