This is a project from the owners of Domaine Serene in Oregon. Light green/gold in color. The nose is chalky with slight vanilla and slight lemons. On the palate, this is a big and fruity Chardonnay. Quite tasty. Lemony with a slightly sweet-tart candied note which is nice. Big and long finish. Perhaps a bit atypical for the vintage but a very nice wine that would go with a wide variety of lighter and medium weight foods.
Visiting wine country? Why spend $250 per day in tasting fees when you can get the wine pass and pay less then half of that? 1 Day with the wine pass = $125+ in savings. 2 Days with the wine pass = $250+ in savings. The Priority Wine Pass
Light golden in color. The nose is very nice. Lemons, slightly candied, a bit of vanilla, and slight spice. On the palate, this has a creamy texture. Good not great acidity. Slightly oily texture. The lemon candy come thru nicely. A bit of oak too on the palate, but mostly integrated at this point. Good finish. Worked well with lighter foods. Seems to still be maturing but getting close to peak. No hurry has a decade or more to go.
Light golden in color. The nose has some lemons, a bit of hay but a touch of oxidation as well. Not too much though. On the palate, the lemons carry thru with nice acidity. Slightly candied on the finish. This kept improving all night with air and the bit of oxidation seemed less obvious as other elements were more present. Nice finish. This worked quite well with a funghi pizza. It may improve a bit with more storage, but it seems like it should be drunk sooner than later at this point. Of course, one always worries with oxidation and white Burgundies.
Yes, it is just a Bourgogne, but it is Leroy, and she makes some of the best Bourgogne Blancs. Golden in color, clear and bright. This has a great nose with Vanilla and Fuji apples. Slight smoke. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is rich with nice minerality. Lemony notes. Long finish. This got better with air. This should drink well for the next decade at least. It will work on its own and will be great with sea food.
Bichot makes a lot of wine and most of it is reasonably priced and of good quality. This is no exception. Green gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemons, slight chalk/minerals, and a slight apple quality. Light bodied. On the palate, this drinks easy. Lemon candy notes with some fresh lemon. Some acidity. A slight bitter note on the finish. This needs to be consumed now. It works well on its own but better with lighter foods. It went well with a cheese pizza.
