Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 17, 2016 - Purchased off the wine list at La Cagouille. Served at a cool, not cold temperature. The sommelier, who visits the domaine yearly, mentioned that after wondering for years how one was to remove the wax covering when opening the bottle, asked the Raveneau brothers. "They said just plunge right in with the corkscrew", which is what he did. Pristine white gold color. Nose of white stone, gun flint, oyster shell, alpine floral notes, grapefruit, a bit of apple core. Ethereal, persistent layers of citrus, granny apple, and hints of white peach laced with flint and aristocratic steely spine on the palate. The whole thing unfolded like the opening of a flower. Bright, incisive acidity and long finish of mouth-watering mineral, white fruit, and poised grip. The combination of this wine and the expert presentation of superb seafood at La Cagouille was a great way to begin our trip.
