"Simply a beautiful, unpretentious mature white Burgundy. Deep lemon hue - very limpid. The nose has moderate intensity: candle wax, gooseberry and pineapple, becoming nuttier as time goes on. The palate is well balanced with good acidity, nutty and Meursault in style. Notes of pineapple, citrus fruits and walnuts. Not complex, just a very well made mature wine . . . . Excellent. "
