  Beaucoup de personnalité anime se vin qui aurait encore du chemin à faire. Oxydation donnant un feeling de blanc du Jura, pomme, poire, miel, amande, tilleul. Belle complexité et persistance satisfaisante. Alcool bien présent avec ses 15% bien marqués.

  C'est du sérieux comme vin blanc : 15% d'alcool!
  On ne le sent pas trop, mais ça donne un vin très riche d'une couleur assez foncée de vieil or.
  Le nez est sur la pomme compotée, le sésame, les fleurs blanches.
  La bouche est grasse avec encore ce profil très "pomme" et une petite note oxidative.
  Ne sera pas nécessairement apprécié par les amateur(e)s de blancs légers et rafraîchissants, mais comme vin de gastronomie, je l'ai trouvé superbe.
  Prévoir des plats en sauce à la crème, aux champignons, ou des volailles rôties.
  A la structure requise pour vieillir longtemps et en beauté.
  Excellent!

  Pale brass colour. Needs some time and air to open up. Then honey in the nose, waxy notes, pear and herbs like tarragon and chervil, some whitethorn as well. In the mouth, this is fairly full-bodied, quite massive actually, the high alcohol is well integrated and doesn't show as high as it is. Pear again. Quite long, really enjoyable.

  Good, but I'm just not feeling this bottle as much as the first one I tried; the heat comes through too much (14.5%) and there's definitely a caramel-like Bourbon oxidative character that I often enjoy in some Savennieres (as sometimes occurs in the Joly wines), but which feels unbalanced here. Not bad, but not my best experience with this bottle.
