This is a fairly nice and straightforward white Burgundy. Aromas of white flowers, freshly rained on river stone, stone fruit. A tad of oak aromas - vanilla, light toastyness. Medium bodied with a crisp but balanced acidity. Lightly honeyed yellow peaches, citrus, the oak comes through a bit more, but it is by no means similar to the heavily oaked Chardonnays you will often find from California. Nice finish and the flavor sticks around for awhile.
I think this would give you a good idea of what cote d'or chardonnay is like. From what I remember, I paid something in the teens for this. For that price, I would rate it a 86.
