Lea & Sandeman review
Very pale, very pretty, firm and mineral with a dusting of dry tannin. Very pure and crystalline and very attractive.Other reviews and comments
"An island surrounded by a road, not water! Shaped like an island and the best part is the Savigny part. Full East exposition, which towards the end is more North North-East." Four hectares planted with both red and white. Claude's mother planted the Chardonnay in 1985. Some of the red vines are 60 years old. "The soil is very poor. The bottom is a little richer, but 20m up the slope and the soil is very poor and stony white." This has a deeper aroma with a glimpse of ground coriander. The attack is fuller and richer. There is plumpness on the front of the palate and pure summer fruits in the middle. Fresh and clear. The tannins are firmer, but well integrated; a bit more grip and some darker fruit on the finish. Particularly good to fine. From 2011
Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing
A moderately exotic nose features notes of melon, straw, apricot and mango and this succulent quality is picked up by the delicious, balanced, intense and detailed flavors that possess excellent finishing energy and persistence. A really lovely effort brimming with minerality. Worth a look. 2010+
89/100
