Tasting notes
(13% natural alcohol): Bright, pale yellow. Deeper-pitched than the Genevrières but still with an element of precision to the aromas of ripe peach, pineapple, menthol, smoke and minerals. Concentrated and sharply delineated, showing a captivating rocky, saline quality to the intense flavors of peach and underripe pineapple. Tactile, classically dry and vibrant on the back end, with lovely grip to the wine's fruit. I would expect this wine to merit an even higher score in five or six years.

(malo done and sulfited): Bright pale yellow. Aromas of pineapple, grapefruit and crushed stone are accented by a hint of white pepper; more about soil than primary fruit. Dense, rich and powerful, with lovely sweetness and lift to the flavors of pineapple and lime blossom. Ultimately less voluptuous than the Genevrieres and more solidly structured and backward on the aftertaste. This will need some time in bottle for its full complement of flavors to blossom.
