Tasting notes
Good pale color. Licorice and spring flowers on the nose. Broad and expansive in the mouth but with good shape and firmness too; the flavors of licorice, acacia flower and hazelnut are quite dry but nicely ripe. The lingering finish shows good bite to the citrus pith and mineral flavors. An excellent village wine.

(domain wine, from Les Forges and Tessons) Fruit-driven aromas of apple, pear, peach and nectarine. Round, ripe and lush but shapely and not at all heavy. Essentially gentle village wine, finishing with good length.
Cask sample. Aromatic even a little floral with spicy oak notes, rather lacking fruit in the middle. (JH)
