Tasting notes
49-year-old vines planted at about 10,000 vines/ha. Crisp and lightly honeyed. Correct but not that long. Very pale. Useful restaurant wine but not funky in any way! (JR)

Bought recently. Red soils that are pretty powerful with big stones. 25% slope. Tank sample. Strongly floral nose. Bright and easy. Crunchy texture. Not the most intense but quite showy. Some sweetness here. Lots of drama and pizazz. (JR)
(14% alcohol): Bright yellow. Ripe peach, spices and a whiff of banana on the nose; rather exotic for this cuvée at Carillon. Rich and warm in the mouth, but the white soil influence gives some elegance to the yellow peach and apricot flavors. Sweet, plush, seamless and full in the middle palate but the finish is still a bit aggressive.
