I agree with you on his standard chardonnay - it was the Vinification Bourguinonne variant that appealed to me.

Isn't the correct expression 'bof'?
Concrete. I love that, a new one for my tasting note dictionary.

I don't think they're 'designed' for early consumption at all, the only exception being his Nouveau - he does actually make one! Even Ronsay often only really starts to sing at 18 months, and l'Ancien tends to need about 2-3 years, and can easily run for 6-8. The Le Buissy cuvée of l'Ancien that you spotted (good call!) is a plot of particularly well-sited old vines that he seems only to vinify separately in good years. I've drunk it a decade, fresh as a daisy.

None at all, I'm afraid.

I certainly won't be buying that then.
Bit harsh. A 5 minute google reveals it is worth a try.
Haven't had either but Rosso are often better value. Must be a reason you mention them: only one way to find out.

Don't the Italians just have that je ne sais quoi...no, hang on, it can't be that!

It is an interesting 'entry' wine. I use it on people who "don't like chardonnay" and it seems to work.
But the Estate is worth the price difference IMO.
