I bought this at the winery many years ago after taking a tour with the winemaker Henri. He said he made his Chardonnay in a Burgundian style and it would age well for a decade or more. I said - challenge accepted! (Possibly more in my head than aloud.) It was a roller coaster of a wine that kept evolving in the glass to the last sip. Early on there was a slight corkiness to the mid palate but a bright start and finish and great acidity. This corky note dissipated leaving more of a fallen crab apple note with butterscotch coming through. It really opened up as the night went on showing wild complexity and depth of flavor.
