A l’aveugle Robe dorée, encore brillante. Nez fatigué et fatiguant de chardo poussif et boisé, pâtissier et opulent. Pourquoi pas Meursault… En bouche, cela se termine par une jolie mineralité salivante et saline, mais il faut en passer par une rondeur ou les fleurs blanches, la vanille et la crème frangipane écœurent un peu… Nul doute que cette cuvée aurait dû être bue il y a 4/5 ans. Mais le style d’élevage ne me convainc guère…

Single piece cork, no seepage. Ripe tropical nose, lots of freshness Palate follows through similarly, with creamy oak. Acidity is less developed, most likely due to the warm vintage. Tastes reasonably youthful with no sign of maturity such as nuttiness or bruised apple.
Drink or hold to 2021. 13%abv

light yellow colour. Wafts of citrus, almonds, hint of honey.
Delicious soft rich fruit with nice minerality. Long finish.

In a great place, precise, refreshing and with the citrus tang that I love. Oak handling is very measured. Rich yet refreshing flavours.
Great wine.
Drink or hold

Stunning wine. Smooth, buttery with a "fat" body. Drinks well now and probably until 2018.
