Tasting notes
Pale, bright yelow. Pungent aromas of lime, quinine and minerals. Dense, sweet and youthfully taut, offering lovely precision to its flavors of white peach, minerals and spices. Larger-scaled than the Grands Charrons but with no shortage of calcaire energy. Finishes ripe, saline and persistent. From a healthy crop level of 50 hectoliters per hectare. Dancer noted that the salinity shown by this wine is typical of the 2013 vintage.

(still a bit of residual sugar to be converted): A bit fermentative on the nose. Then rich, tactile and a touch exotic in the mouth, in a fruitier style than the more marne-influenced Morgeot Tete du Clos. The highly concentrated lemon and lime flavors lead to a classically dry, slightly warm finish.
