Nice by the glass. Not worth $30 a glass but the bottle at the right retail shop works. @ComplineWine-barNapa

Excellent reductive style. Apple cider, pear, white citrus, malty, vanilla, soft chalkiness, good acidity and smartly polished. — 3 months ago

Spectacular Grand Cru grower Chardonnay from Chouilly. Medium gold in the glass. Meager, medium sized bubbles that dissipate rather quickly. Very zippy and lively from the jump. The nose is terrific with a little salt and herbs along with some toffee. Really nice citrus fruit leaps out of the glass. Buttered brioche and spice compliment.

Single vineyard Grand Cru fruit from a tiny plot called “Le Fond du Bateau”, the bottom of the boat. Bottled in June of 2010 and disgorged in May of 2018 with a dosage of 1 g/l to let the terroir truly shine. So bold and so full of personality. Racy acidity and distinctive minerality throughout. Nice depth and complexity here.

This really does get better and better as it evolves in the glass. The beautiful citrus expresses itself initially with peaches and green apples. Pears, apricots, and a nice bit of spice. Bold but oh so elegant simultaneously. This is long and very posh. An instant favorite and will be so much better down there road. — 3 years ago

2021/4. This was my first experience with this producer. It started very bright, with white flowers and lots of juicy apple. With time it opened to show more butter and brioche richness. On the rich side of brut. — 3 years ago
