Tasting notes
Medium bright yellow. High-toned aromas of lime blossom and nuts, plus a more exotic note of peach syrup. Fat and rich in the mouth, with lovely approachable texture and sweetness. Almost thick in the context of the vintage, and obviously made from a low crop level. This rather youthfully aggressive wine finishes long but will need a couple years to absorb some more of its alcohol. and lose some of its baby fat.

Slightly smoky, possibly a little reductive now. Inviting and then savoury on the palate. Tight, zesty, intense and really long. (JH)
Complex aromas of yellow peach syrup, clove oil and vanilla. Sweet and seamless on the palate; in a gentle style but with good energy to the silky flavors of peach, honey and grilled nuts. At once rich and juicy, finishing with a flavor of buttered nuts. Really lovely balance here. This is a moderate 13% alcohol, from a crop level reported by Boyer to be just 30 hectoliters per hectare.
