  Appearance: Bright and clear, it has light lemon color, with wide watery rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit of green apple and pear, stone fruit of apricot, mineral notes of stony, floral notes of hawthorn, oak notes of toast, kernel notes of almond. The wine is youthful.
  Palate: Dry with high acidity, the wine has medium alcohol and medium (+) body, demonstrating medium intensity of flavors including citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit of green apple, oak notes of toast, mineral notes of stony, kernel notes of almond. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
  Conclusion: Very good quality Bourgogne with a reasonably intense nose of good complexity, even though the wine is still quite young it has demonstrated good potential, with good acidity on the palate and a nice concentration, plus a fairly long finish, on top of a firm structure with elegance and finesse. It is a bit too young now and would benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years.
