Tasting notes
Pale, bright green. Begins with brisk lemon and lime aromas lifted by a floral topnote, with deeper fresh peach and apricot scents emerging with air. Silky, sweet and classy, offering lovely inner-mouth cut. Finishes sappy, spicy and long, but will need time in the cellar to expand on the back end. Jean-Pierre Latour told me that in recent years he's been trying to raise this wine in tension, purity and class to the level of his Perrières and Genevrières.

(just finishing its malolactic fermentation and not yet sulfured): Pale yellow. Minerals and fresh butter on the nose, plus a suggestion of candied apple. Then rich and intense in the mouth, showing captivating spicy perfume and a distinctly juicy quality. Finishes classically dry, bracing and quite long but this wine may still get a bit of further fattening from the lees. The acidity here is a solid 4.7 grams per liter, according to Jean-Pierre Latour.
