Mother Mary of God! It’s a stunning example of why I adore White Burgundy.

The nose reveals; Meyer lemon, Granny Smith apples, pineapple, lime zest, stone fruit, under ripe green melon, beeswax, honeysuckle, touch of caramel, fruit blossoms, river stones, cream for days, gentle white spice, powdery limestone & brilliant, soft gentle chalkiness, steely minerals, some flintiness with jasmine, mixed greens, yellow lilies and spring flowers.

The body is full, rich, lush and waxy. It’s simply stunning as it glides over the palate. It just doesn’t get much better in White Burgundy unless you spend seriously more money. Meyer lemon, Granny Smith apples, pineapple, lime zest, stone fruit, under ripe green melon, kiwi, bruised Bosc pear, beeswax, honeysuckle, vanillin notes, touch of caramel, fruit blossoms, river stones, cream for days, butter, gentle white spice with soft, warm heat, herbaceous, powdery limestone & brilliant, soft gentle chalkiness, steely minerals, some flintiness with jasmine, mixed greens, yellow lilies and spring flowers. The phat, round acidity is like a warm, gentle rain shower. The rich, lush, ripe, polished, well balanced finish is delicious and persists several minutes.

Solid. Amazing texture, less powerful than I expected.

2012: Strong first impression. Good acidity, showing promise for aging. Solid, with good depth. Long finish kept drawing me back.

Lemonhead candy, lime zest, green apple, chalky minerality , creamy with lots of lees contact. Smooth and lush. Very good now and excellent with 5-10 of years patience.

Bright fruit, acidity to match. Meyer lemon. This guy crushes it, no pun intended.
