Macon gamay, crazy QPR at 14$; some smoky, gamey notes along with a bright cherry flood. Good stuff. Rosenthal book. — a month ago

Rich and delicious. The expressive nose is leesy and mineral, the palate cream pie with fresh citrus, minerals and touches of honey. — 5 months ago

My white of the night, even though my guess for it as a blind missed the mark. Once more, the influence of sight led me astray, with the exposed Stelvin cap popping out of the blind sleeve leading me to identify it as an Australian Chardonnay. In my defense, the ripeness of the fruit does fit the guess. If anything, it just reaffirms my view that global warming (and the homogenisation of styles) has been making it harder and harder to discern new and old world wines as of late. That topic aside, this wine was just so digestible. Long with strong salinity, laser-like acidity, and luscious mouthfeel. There’s a mix ripe stone and zesty citrus fruits here, along with nutty, woody, and spicy nuances. The only element that irks me is a touch of muskiness which I attribute to some level of premox. Other than that, there’s richness, intensity, and precision here - all the hallmarks of a great wine. Delicious, and finished in no time at all. — 3 years ago

Most Macon Chards I’ve had feel like a “ through the looking glass” experience— a few substantial layers removed from the “real” (ie Proper Burgundy) deal; but not this bottle. Velvety texture, full but delicate in the mouth; dandelions & spring grass field after a rain; on palate has this wonderful crushed minerality- almost volcanic, yellow fruits, & the 10 months in barrel are more like a caress than an announcement. Joyous juice, & so amped for the next bottles. — 2 months ago

Fresh, crisp, airy, enticing!
Orchard apples, a touch of underripe apricot, white flowers and, underneath, crushed rock, mineral, salty, moreish.
On the palate this is so juicy and so clean with zippy, fresh acidity and a great mineral backbone. No oak whatsoever & none needed.
This has presence, depth & zing.
Lipsmacking delicious. — a year ago

Right at that premium burgundy level without being too “truffle” like. Incredible young wine — 5 years ago

Nose: crazy density. Very complex. Mineral. Lots of hard to define flavors. Candied lemon peel? Almost an elegant nuttiness? White flowers as it opens. Wisps of vanilla. Lemon flower. Yellow melon. 9.7 nose. At least.

Palate: elegantly rich. Sweet minerals. Elegant balancing acidity. Delicious. So juicy. There is something so expansive about the palate presence. Lacks elite density or this would be higher.

Wow. Maybe the greatest white burgundy value ever.

Changes in the glass. A fascinating drink. Really. Just get a baguette, some butter and smoked fish and hang out for an evening. Maybe some Camembert. O

A great easy drinking Chardonnay. I normally don't like the maloactic acid of oaked Chardonnay but this doesn't really have it. It's slightly sweet but refreshing. It's has some minerality that cuts through any heft. It's a great drinking wine that would hold us to food. A great Chardonnay!

Color: A clear yellow the color of hay. It is slightly lighter than a typical oaked Chardonnay.

Aroma: Smells like Chardonnay without the maloacid creaminess. There's a slight sweetness, but mostly refreshing with some heft.

Taste: like lovely light Chardonnay with some delicious refreshing sweetness. It's medium body without the heavy, creamy oaked flavors. There are some apple and pear notes that's slightly spiced.

It's light with some minerality making it  easy to drink. It has some heft so it can also stand up to food but it's light that it's great on its own. — 3 years ago
