Hints of reduction at the start with Meyer lemon and pear fruit. With air the wine gains complexity with Anjou pear, Fuji apple and Meyer lemon accented by matchstick, hazelnut creme anglaise plus subtle minerality. Palate is a nice combo of pear and lemon fruit with almond and lees. Acidity is quite bright which helps balance the wines palate richness. Supple fruit and mineral finish with persistence. Seems to be a start of maturity with potential for the aromas to show further complexity. — 4 years ago

Pale straw gold with silver highlights. Somewhat shy nose of underripe Fuji apple and Asian pear. Firm acidity leads the smoky/flinty light-bodied palate of underripe pome fruit and citrus rind. Remarkably long (8-9 secs) palate cleansing finish. Merciful saints! This is the entry level wine from the Dagueneau portfolio and it makes you want to go higher! Food is, of course, its friend, but if you’re into “sipping culture” this will work for you as well. Seafood (cooked or sushi) is a particularly fine pair, naturally. Drink now through 2027. — 5 years ago

Lovely terrier driven mineral nose with hints a hazelnut laced with lemon peel and Fuji apple fruit. Palate is missing a touch of intensity but mineral and citrus flavors. Thoroughly enjoyable but seeking a bit more complexity. — 7 years ago

This RESERVE offering was opened at 6yrs old and has proven Dave Collins is an east coast premier winemaker. He has overseen the complete development of those 60+ acres and understands how to elevate what the terroir gives. This extended aged Chardonnay had all the class and finesse of an aged burgundy. Beautiful crème brûlée, Fuji apple, and a touch of poached pear on the palate with tremendous mouth feel and an elegant extended finish. I have had some losers in my aging library project, but this was a clear walk off home run! — 4 years ago

A crisp bite of a Fuji apple with fresh minerality that is as nice with food as it was on its own. For a Chablis this is close to a Meursault! — 5 years ago

Enjoy the aromas at different temperatures. Starting with lemon rind and green grass when it's cold, transitioning to lemongrass then green cardamon and Fuji apple. Wonderful for this experience alone. — 6 months ago

Smells like flowers and tastes like biting into a not-so-sweet Fuji apple. Spicy food dials down the sweetness and dials up minerals in a pleasant way. Great everyday wine. — 3 years ago
