Gneiss. Hint of mushroom on the nose. Much cleaner citrus on the palate. Tight, stony and ripe at the same time. (JH)

Raised in tank and bottled only at the end of August or early September, this offers a spare but happily juicy and transparent advertisement for its site. Stony, alkaline, bittersweet gentian and musky narcissus nuances mingle on a polished palate dominated by white peach and apple. Almost severe cyanic and mineral notes shimmer against a bright fruit background, making for an attention-getting and protracted finish.
