I had been given this white Burgundy very kindly as a birthday
present (thanks John) and chose a perfect spring evening that more resembled a
hot August evening than one in March to drink it. Perfect! Upon opening the
bottle, my nose was greeted with beautiful nuances of summer flowers, butter
and gooseberries. It was extremely well balanced on the palate with great
length, a typical Chardonnay: buttery, sweet from ripe fruit, oak, vanilla with
an acidic twinge at the end. Sweet on entry, acidic on the finish, a wine for
summer if ever I have had one. Drink now with great pleasure a beautiful
balance here and an extremely fat wine with an almost voluptuous feel.
90/100
