Very nice showing at age 27.  Medium golden in color with some ruby notes, clear and bright.  The nose is very nice with apricots, slight honey and just a hint of oxidation.  Medium to full bodied.  Viscous texture.  The palate has apricots and honey but a bit clipped and slightly bitter on the finish.  Probaby a bit past peak but still has years left of pleasure.  Would be nice with a Polenta Cake for dessert.  

Very nice showing for this wine.  It is easily available and very fairly priced.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  Very pretty nose of orange peel, honey and apricots.  Also a light, breezy floral note.  Medium bodied but viscous.  Nicely balanced with acidity that cuts thru well.  On the palate, flavors of honey and apricots with a slight bitter (like pith) note on the finish that works well.  This is delicious on its own and would be nice with a less sweet cookie or cake at the end of an meal.  Drink over the next twenty to thirty years.

Looking for a white Burgundy that won't break the bank?  This one is drinking quite nicely.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with lemons, slight cantaloupe, and a hint apple.  Medium bodied.  Nice balance.  On the palate, crisp lemons flavors with a touch of cantaloupe.  Slicht minerality.  Good finish.  This is an easy to drink Chardonnay that is lovely on its own and will work nicely with lighter foods.  A nice choice for grilled sea food.  Drink over the next three to six years.  

This is a blend of 20% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier, and 50% Pinot Noir.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  A nice mouse with a steady stream of tiny bubbles.  The nose is nice with apples, slight apple cider, and slight peach.  Medium to full bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is clean with red apples and slight minerality.  Long finish.  The Lot number was L230588 3125.  This is drinking well and should be consumed over the next few years.  It is lovely on its own but should go with virtually everything from popcorn to Prime Rib.  A great value in Champagne.
