Tasting profile
A buttery yet crisp white Burgundy with a floral, aromatic nose and notes of apple, almond, lime, honey, and flint, framed by a touch of oak on the finish. Refined and richly textured with bright acidity and good length, it ages well and pairs beautifully with scallops and other shellfish.

What reviewers say
“Amazingly aromatic and buttery. A true Burgundy form and refined. Perfect to drink after 10 years. We let it breathe for another 3 hours and it had a very long lasting power.”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
