Quite a light nose. Absolutely not a trace of oak. Lots of youthful citrus and acidity. Really quite a challenge at the moment. Definitely needs time to round out. (JR)
Fruit-driven aromas of apricot and yellow peach complicated by noble Puligny herbs. Supple, spicy and dry, with an herbal perfume carrying through onto the firm, lingering finish. Not a fat style but not austere either, in spite of a trace of greenness on the back. (Incidentally, Leflaive's Bourgogne Blanc showed enticing musky soft citrus fruit and excellent breadth for its appellation.)
