Tasting Notes

Mineral and flint, white flowers the nose is fresh and fragrant the start of the palate is precise. There is mid sweetness hints of tropical fruits but at the back the mineral flint streak gives freshness the finish has length and persistence. 2017-22

Discreet nose with a light toastiness and apple compote. The palate is boldly fruity, compact and firm, a robust style with good minerality on the finish. This has real typicity. Drinking Window 2017 - 2024.

There is a bit more typicity to the pear, citrus and iodine-scented nose that displays a somewhat curious hint of sauvignon blanc. There is better vibrancy to the detailed and subtly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that culminate in a saline, complex and slightly more persistent finale. This too should drink well young. 2018+

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (64), October 2016

Located near the 1er Cru vineyard "Les Butteaux", these vineyards are South-east facing with very chalky, firm soils. The yield is 40hl/ha. The free run juice was vinified in horizontal stainless steel tanks without battonage. This wine has an expressive flinty, struck-match nose with hints of lemon zest. The palate is fresh, clean and mineral with lemon fruit and green apple. Zesty acidity lifts the finish and leaves a cleansing citrus length.
