Tasting notes
Pale yellow with a touch of green. Yellow peach, lime leaf, flowers and spicy oak on the nose, complicated by a touch of leesy reduction. Supple, ripe and accessible, with white peach and floral flavors supported by minerality. This broad, rich but classically dry 2013 should offer relatively early appeal. I find this wine more successful in the context of its vintage than the 2014.

Bright pale yellow. High-pitched aromas of lavender, fleur de sel, noble herbs, mint and metallic minerality; reminded me of a Chevalier-Montrachet. Boasts lovely peppery density to its complex flavors of red berries, white peach and orange zest. Finishes classically dry, with mounting length and repeating notes of white and black pepper.
