Tasting Notes

Highly perfumed aromas of peach, nut oil and spring flowers. Thick and sappy, with youthfully clenched but highly concentrated fruit framed by harmonious acidity. Fat and creamy, but the wine's 2.2 grams per liter of residual sugar are well buffered by its firm minerality. Finishes chewy and long, with a distinct saline character. Showing well considering the recent bottling.

Score: 92

(still in the middle of its malo) Pale, green-tinged color. Complex aromas of lime blossom, fresh herbs and light sulfides, with a cool, minty nuance. Bright and penetrating, with moderate fat and richness. Offers excellent precision but seems a bit skinny today. Finishes with a slightly dry, malic note. In a tricky stage to assess with confidence, but does not appear to be stronger than the Pucelles.

Score: 89 - 93
