Been a little bit since I checked in on this. Baby Clos des Chenes. Nose is all stones, minerals, light cherry and seems closed aromatically. Palate is lush and rich with lovely balance, purity and freshness but seems closed. Lovely finesse. Serious dense fruit and structure. Black and red cherries. Great length but I'll check back in 2 hours if I'm up. If not tomorrow. — 8 years ago

Very happy with this wine, exactly what a French table wine should be like, fresh, light, fruity, not at all harsh. Excellent choice for a meal. — 10 years ago

Old vines. Exceptional terroir. Monthelie village despite it being his BEST wine. Made like a Grand Cru. 30 hl/ha. Raised in rare new oak and only one in Burgundy to have it. Bottled, labeled and corked by hand. No fining and filtration. Serious layered aromas. Tiny concentrated fruits. Super powerful. Like a high end 1er Cru from Volnay and Pommard. Stunning. Long long long long. The ultimate ringer in a tasting. — 11 years ago
I'm Unabashedly weak when it comes to Chenin blanc, but this really rises to the top of the heap in terms of complexity, orchard feel, and tingly finish. Bruised yellow apple and apricot with petrol viscosity, lemon meringue, tongue curling on the back, ending with a little heat — 8 years ago
Beautiful mouthful of Chardonnay! Possibly some old oak, but only enough to complement. Fresh and long finish. — 8 years ago

Excellent petit blanc qui accompagne avec succès des gambas, des sardines et du saumon, le tout cuit au barbecue. Des notes minérales et fruitées, notamment pêches blanches et pamplemousses. — 9 years ago
Aromas of wood freshly cut via table or circular saw, caramelized sugar and radial tire - things were looking up. Initial glass was a bit short, which I must say was disappointing after such an auspicious beginning. After a bit of time, she broadened out into an elegant, almost weightless drink. So delicate and pleasant.

Alive and kicking, floral nose, clean and intense with that great saddle leather, still vibrates and has plenty of fruit ... Also a half — 11 years ago
2011 Florent Garaudet Monthelie - intense nose. Wild berry. Earthy. Damson. Striking nose. Sweet fruit and very alive in the mouth. So pretty. — 11 years ago
Really good. Still lots of fruit and lots of earth and barnyard. — 12 years ago

Stunner for 2001! Elegant and effusive out of the gate with freshness abound. Hints of mushroomed austerity and salinity that is supremely lifting. Such a treat!! — 8 years ago
