Tasting notes
As one might reasonably expect, this is more aromatically reserved than either the Bienvenues or the Bâtard with discreet nose of tropical fruit, citrus and floral hints that are followed by focused and mineral suffused flavors that possess excellent detail and fine if not truly extraordinary length. I quite like the balance and sense of harmony here though there is perhaps a touch less overall depth and breadth than I'm used to seeing. Still, this is lovely, classy and refined.

Captivating aromas of wet stone, nutmeg and ginger. Broad, lush and fine; not at all heavy but a distinctly solid and horizontal style of Chevalier. A flavor of wet stone lingers nicely on the broad back end. Impressive wine, but I never would have picked the vineyard.
