Lightly colored. Nose of lemon, pears to which salty notes and a green note is added and it brings up some freshness. Round on the palate with buttery and light oak notes, but nothing to overpower the acidity or the freshness of this wine. Then followed flavors of lemon and lime that ended up in a medium long finish that had volume to it. This is a quite and classical Burgundy Chardonnay offered at a good price. Very good (89)

Medium dark ruby color. Nose of branches, earth, ground cherries, berries and smoke. Fresh on the palate with flavors of red berries, a whole bunch of spices, it’s balanced, long lasting with just a touch of heat on the finish, but it doesn’t stop the wine to show its amplitude. Good+ (88)

Château Vallon des Brumes Bordeaux 2011 

Dark cherry color. Nose of small black berries, spices ans smoke. Smooth on the palate with a touch of Bordeaux classic structure and flavors on par with those from the nose. Good acidity, not as powerful as Bordeaux usually are, probably due to the 2011 vintage. Drinks well from now, would pair well with beef dishes! Good+ (88)
