Reviews
" Very pale, light fine and elegant on the nose with more intensity behind, some firmness of structure, which could be confused with a top St-Aubin, if served blind. Long and fine, a pleasing finish"
"A little more open, this nose shows an attractively airy style that’s also faintly floral. Complex, delicious flavours, a bubbling style of delivery. More direct into the finish – here delicious if less explosive than some others. Here everything is impressive and clearly of 1er cru status. Delicious wine…"
"Aromatic white-floral aroma, with a silky, supple, and juicy palate. It’s airy and balletic. Top-notch Champ Gain."
