Moderate wood is present on the cool and pretty nose of the essence of pear, crushed fennel, white flower and a hint of phenolic character. The succulent, round and punchy larger-scaled flavors brim with both dry extract and minerality while delivering fine length on the balanced and lightly austere finale. Not surprisingly, this is decidedly compact and in need of cellar time. I would note that if, in the name of science of course, you decide to try a bottle young, be sure to decant it as the gas is noticeable. Note: 100% from domaine vines in Aloxe Drink: 2032+
Broad in profile and initially rich, with peach, pear, butterscotch and mineral flavors cut by lively acidity. This white seems to dissipate on the finish, only to return with toasted brioche and baking spice notes. Salty finish. Drink now through 2032.
