Tasting notes
(from a yield of about 40 hectoliters per hectare, according to Boillot): Bright yellow. Musky scents of yellow fruits, flowers, minerals and hazelnut. Suave and seriously concentrated, with high-pitched flavors of pineapple, soft citrus fruits, spices and crushed stone complicated by a petrolly suggestion. Finishes with superb energy and carry-through: a bit more discreet on the end than the Genevrières but with a slowly building whiplash of flavor nonetheless. Very complete wine.
