This sounds like my house.
Me, this is nice.
MJ, pretty good but too oaky.
We drank a fabulous '85 Breton Perrières last night.
Wet rocks, dust, tobacco nose with a nice amount of fruit left under all the minerals, something like fresh raspberries and blackberry leaves after a storm. Tannins were mostly resolved but the wine was vibrant.
A special bottle. Warren traded a bottle of Aubert Chardonnay for the 93 and 85 Breton Perrières.
The 93 wasn't as good. Cloudy, ashy, funky nose without much fruit.

Jean RoyerDoes anyone know if the tradition and the petit roy is oaked? The mme and i are having a big argument.
The website says the petit roy receives the same vinification as the tradition: two thirds in either concrete or inox and two thirds in demi-muids. I haven't tasted the wine that much since it was never a favorite, but I don't remember obvious oak flavors.

I love a winery that can make an extra third of wine through their enlevage.
But I do not remember obvious oak either but I have had the most experience with 2008 so not sure if that helps... I have one or two 2007 sleeping

Touché. Nice to know someone is reading. One-third in demi-muids.
