Tasting notes
Light, bright yellow. Aromas of ripe apple and pear are lifted by flowers and spices, with a note of steely minerality emerging with aeration. Juicy, spicy, nicely delineated wine with ripe acidity and a light touch. Cool citrus and orchard fruit flavors are accented by a note of stony minerality. More fresh than rich, this stylish wine has the energy to expand in bottle over the medium term.

A little herbal and off dry without the nerve of some. (JR)
(39 hectoliters per hectare produced, according to Boillot): Pale bright yellow. White peach, pear and white flowers on the nose. More open-knit than the village wine, perhaps due to the fact that there was less frost damage here. Conveys a captivating sweetness to its apple, peach and pear flavors. Savory, nicely concentrated wine with lift and grip--and a rather cool aspect.
