Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Aromas of lemon drop, pear and minerals show a strong overlay of oak char. Broad, tactile and nicely filled in, offering good intensity to its lemon, spicy oak and crushed stone flavors. At once juicy and rich, this wine finishes with very good spicy persistence and subtle stony minerality. Deeper and more vibrant than the Baudines, with more material to buffer its alcohol. And firmer on the back end.

Pale, bright yellow. Nuanced if reticent nose hints at pear, clove and minerals. In a rich, round but classically dry style, with pear and citrus flavors firmed by a solid spine of minerality. This rather suave wine finishes with very good subtle, spicy length. Morey's parcel from the 1960s produces millerandé grapes that get ripe quickly and need to be picked early, but they are balanced by young vines planted in 2006, which give this wine what he described as "a necessary juiciness."
