Lots of lemon, flint, and green apple. Finishes with a bit of lemon cream. Relatively high acidity.

Matchstick and flint were dominate in the wine. To me there could have been improved balance with the way sulfur and flint were integrated into the wine. Not bad for a bourgogne, but hoped for more.

nose a little too toasty for me. Palate and finished have a nice minerality and acid balance.

Let the bottle come to temp for 30 min before serving. Clear light gold. The nose is a mix of Granny Smith, citrus & light floral aromatics. Bright & medium bodied palate. Showed good intensity as it warmed. High acid, energetic w/ a green apple/Meyer lemon fruit mix. Generous length. Very good Bourgogne.

Great mineral citrus/acid balance. Was a great accompaniment to mackerel, cutting through the richness.

Not particularly complex, but nice drinking. Getting green apple with acidity. Very nicely integrated oak, with that hint of toast you find in a higher end burgundy. Didn't rate because my experience with white burgundy is limited, but definitely a B to B+ for me.
