Tasting notes
Pale, bright yellow. Lemon zest, crushed stone and a high-pitched note of brown spices on the somewhat reticent nose. Juicy, minerally and firm, with sexy ginger spiciness, notes of shiso leaf and underripe pineapple and a crushed-stone quality enlivening the middle palate. Rather backward right now but boasts lovely energy and tactile extract. Finishes firm, savory and long, gaining in creaminess of texture with aeration. This is excellent but today I marginally prefer the Chevalières for its tactile saline minerality and greater length and sweetness.

Floral and quite rich. Should appeal to those who want instant gratification. (JR)
Very ripe aromas and flavors of lemon oil, ripe fresh peach, crushed stone and vanilla. Wonderfully fruity, deep wine with real energy and concentration, with its silky texture enlivened by solid acidity (4.17 grams per liter, according to Fichet). Really dusts the teeth and tongue on the long finish. An essence of Chardonnay on calcaire , with terrific old-vines intensity, creaminess and lift--not to mention balance.
