Terrific, bright nose of apple, spice, minerals. So clean. Palate is juicy, clean, tart lime fruit, very mineral and great length. Really good density and depth. This was my fave Bourgogne Blanc before Brisset came along. Much better than my last bottle.

Best since 2014 and likely better. Nose of green apple, lime, minerals and has a classic old school white burgundy lean vibe. Love it. Smells like pre global warning white burgundy. Nuanced and layered. Palate has crazy energetic and acidity. Wow. Deep, minerally, lemony and so juicy. Has a Chablisean mineral urgency and flavor profile. So seashelly. Rich, structured and has an unreal midpalate with a hit of opulence. Then hits all razors and acidity.

Love this producer! Green and yellow apples. Very mineral forward though. Almost like Chablis but it is not.

Very nice - last had a year ago, and the time has made the density and juicy acids really come together. Delicious. Definitely rivals the Brisset in terms of value.

Very nice Bourgogne blanc, but needed 2-3 hours to come together and reveal its density. Prefer the Brisset at this price point but still delicious - clean with subtle white fruit, good acid, and a nice finish.

Man. I love this producer. So elegant.

Nose is elegant creamy green apple.

Palate is like rainwater. Green apple. Green apple skin. What you want in Bourgogne blanc.
