Mid gold to bronze edges. Lovely tertiary aromas of honey, wet chalk, stewed peach. Vibrant, fresh acidity with a distinct mineral note, wet chalk and crushed rocks is met with a fleshy mid-palate packed with white peach slices, softened apricots, tart tatin and lemon curd. A toasty note and lightly buttered pastry and cooked oats give a texture that plays off wonderfully against the palate-cleansing acidity. Extraordinary length and for its age showing exceptionally well.

Popped and poured Perfect cork no seepage Light gold colour showing much more evolution than my last note. Nice balance but this is at the end of its twilight years. This was kept in a cellar since original release but has barely managed to make it past year 10. Concerning. Drink up now. 13%abv

Citrus, pineapple and vanilla nose. Lemon and tropical fruits with a slightly creamy feel in the mouth. Fruit and acidity are nicely balanced. Medium length finish. Yum!!

Perfect cork, single long piece. Pale yellow colour. Nose is lemon curd dominant with significant oak still at the fore. No nuttiness. Palate has good length and lemon curd follows through. Oak tannins make the finish a bit harsh. Length and complexity are subpar for this chassagne in general rather than the clos itself. Still tastes fresh and young, no sign of oxidation. Meh. Drink or hold, upside seems unlikely though. 13% abv

A really sweet vanilla oak, toast and yellow fruit on the nose. Palate has good acidity and minerals with some noticeable oak.

Alc: 13,5% Mid+ gold. Engaging aromas of mineral, wet chalk, soft white peaches, lemon verbena, hot lemon/honey and pulverised rocks. There is a restraint almost on the nose. The palate has a sharp, fresh acidity, linear as you like, that glides along the palate, although it fans out a little on the finish. Packed with chopped stones, flint, mineral, giving the wine an edginess, there is also a richness underneath with yellow cling peaches, lemon coated honey elements/lemon oil and …

This is hanging right in there. This is my last one and it's been a few years since I drank the previous bottle and no fade here from what I can tell. Decent cut of lemon and yellow apple, a little slice of lime gets into the finish and there is a light creamy, pineapple note that helps finish the wine, including some slate. In terms of oak, just a shading of coconut perceptible here, which would make me think …

Pineapple, citrus and vanilla on the nose that carries through on the palate. Medium bodied with nicely balanced fruit and acidity. Medium length clean finish.

Pretty white flowers, citrus and mineral notes on the nose. Citrus and minerality continue on the palate with nothing too prominent. In fact delicate is a good way to describe the balanced and refined mouthfeel. Clean finish leaves you wanting for more.

Helt grei vin dette her, men nytes aller best sammen med litt mat av et eller annet slag. Altså ikke helt like delikat som de beste i fra området. Litt for mye syre som vanlig fra årgangen.

Syrlig vin noe som sikkert skyldes kombinasjonen av en syrlig årgang kombinert med en "syrlig" produsent. Ikke helt min stil.

As beautiful as 18 months ago. Wet stones, flowers, citrus on nose. Citrus minerality on palate. Very fresh and alive in every sense. Not profound, but perfect on this summer evening outside.

Terroir-istes International - France, Burgundy, Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru (Rodwell House) : A light to medium yellow, the nose is all about crushed rocks, quarry dust and mineral threaded through with a floral lift. Medium to full-bodied, the entry is softer and delicate as the mineral and savoury elements meet white stone fruit and Earl grey tea underpinned by racy acidity. Poised and elegant, this feels like a classy Girardin or Marc Morey style where some of the wine has …

Burgundy holiday 2012; 3/22/2012-3/29/2012 (Beaune, France) : A lot more flavour and interest here, a more mineral wine with good concentration of fruit, showing a slightly savoury edge and good length.

Drinking beautifully now but am sure it will last a few more years.

Pale straw colored. Fresh white fruit, citrus, flowers, saline, crushed stone on nose which shifts as the wine warms. Palate has crisp fruit, that softens and lengthens when less cold. Feels understated and precise in a manner that is stimulating. Nice sense of mineral and acidity. The freshness of the fruit and the lack of any brassy tartness had Nancy thinking Cali, but the fineness brought her to France. Great match with food.

fresh citrus nose with subtle white flower scents - tart at first until opens up and warms a litlle - delicate citrus and tropical fruits increasing complexity as it evolves in the glass

lys grønngul; sjenerøs og tiltalende PM med ganske markant eik, sitrus/smør, allehånde og mineraler. Fin letthet, eleganse og syre i smak i forhold til den relativt tunge duften. Flott vin med lagringspotensial, interessant å smake når eika forhåpentligvis blir noe mer integrert.

Peach, wet stone, orange peel, mineral and fat on the finish. Decent length. Lost some complexity and weight after about an hour, starting tasting a bit tart.

Burgundy & More in Williamsburg : Open a couple days before tasting. Nose of vanilla, custard, and grilled lemon. Nice toasty citrus and orchard fruits up front, though the mid palate through finish seems to fall off. Maybe not a fair assessment given the time open.

Tres bien, beaucoup aimé la tension et le boisé discret du vin. Beurre et fleurs blanches au nez. Texture ample et finale correcte en bouche.

Immediately fairly muted; only some lemon and minerality, with a hint of new oak. Develops a lot after a few days open, becomes well balanced with a lot of lime and a very long finish. Very good! Would probably benefit significantly with 3-5 years further aging

Tasted immediately after opening. Pale straw colour. Yellow apples and plums, citrus, minerals and hints of smoke and butter on the nose and palate. Nice fresh acidity. Very good indeed.
