Pale golden colour; tropical, even honeyed nose, mineral and floral, gently oxidative note, good depth and interest; fresh and creamy palate, elegant and silky, ripe and harmonious, subtle bitters; sweet fruit, a hint of medium sherry and mushroom on the finish, good length. A very distinctive style.

Explosive nose of roses and red peppers, honey, hint of red meat, graphite, sweet raspberries, reductive minerality; silky and seamless palate, crushed red berries, elegant and energetic, perfectly integrated tannins, warm spices, creamy texture, intensity without weight, excellent resonance and length. Chambolle Premier Cru from Tenerife. Goosebumps.
