Tasting Notes
Broad and expansive on the nose, honeysuckle and a touch of blossom. Immense focus and drive on the palate, so clean and fresh like liquid rock around a deep core of fruit. Alive and energetic with unbelievable power and verve thanks to the racy acidity. Sophisticated, chic chardonnay from the very top tier of production. Outstanding.

Smoky broad-ranging aromas are composed primarily of various white orchard fruit, acacia blossom, citrus rind, wood and a hint of exotic tea. There is an abundance of dry extract that imparts a sappy character to the concentrated, mineral-driven and wonderfully complex flavors that also display a hint of mandarin orange on the strikingly long finish that is Zen-like in its harmony. In a word, fantastic.
Bright lemon-yellow. Tight, pure scents of peach and spices; slightly reduced. Then huge, broad and mouthfilling yet almost magically light on its feet thanks to strong minerality. Tactile and dynamic for the vintage, finishing with slowly building length and terrific mineral force. Boillot believes his 2015s will drink early and late but I'd rather enjoy this one with at least a few years of bottle age. Sep 2016, www.vinous.com
Mouth-filling fruit - really juicy and distinct. Simply tremendous - gets all the savoury mineral flair of Puligny with great fruit clarity. Jan 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2017-2024
