Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 10
Very ripe but pure and discreet aromas of citrus peel, white flowers, medicinal herbs, clove and nut; a very Puligny-side style of Batard. Then chewy, saline, dry and quite backward, conveying a powerful sappy quality and good cut and verve but hiding its fruit. This extremely backward wine, which was bottled with the Chevalier-Montrachet ten days before my visit, displays fascinating botanical herb notes that reminded me of Benedictine. Finishes with superb building length and energy.
