The body is rich. Sweet & sour cherries, strawberries, under ripened tangerines, black cherries, ripe rhubarb notes, more brioche than the nose, seashells & oysters, nice volcanic minerals and red & pink roses. — 7 years ago

Probably the best $15 btl in the lcbo. Lean, crunchy and gamay like. — 10 years ago

So fresh and juicy with a lovely herbal note. One of the best valued wines I've had from LCBO in a long time. If I had a "house wine," this might be it — 10 years ago

I love it when a plan comes together! This 2008 was a highlight of my March trip to Champagne. This bottle is composed of 96% Chardonnay and 4% Pinot Noir from Bethon, one of the chalkiest terroirs in the Sézanne. The wine has the bright, mineral cut that one expects from fancy Chardonnay in a high acid vintage, but also some great weight and texture. I think this will age very well, the 1988 I drank earlier this year sure was fresh! — 8 years ago

Completely satisfying to the palate. Took more than 6 months to locate this wine. — 12 years ago
