White flowers, some citrus and a lovely minerality. Long finish. An amazing village. Will need to seek out other vintages of this (and the BBMs as well)!

Quite rich, ripe white fruit. In the mouth there is not the usual tension I find in Jacques' wines. Medium body and complexity. Drank 4 bottles with consistent notes. Drink up

Night at new dark secret place. Enjoyed over 2 hours. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of salty saline tidal pool minerality, honeyed citrus fruit, floral perfume with more air. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of honeyed citrus lemon, white peach, mild light toast, touch of sweet cream, and lots of that salty minerality towards the long finish. Very good quality. Really nice and enjoyable, just lacking that bit of delineation and layering to bring it up to good 1er Cru level. In drinking window now, and should be for the next 4-5 years.

Consistent with previous notes. This punches above its weight. Just delicious.

Still very fresh with elegance and crispness. Citrus and white fruit predominate and the length is seriously impressive.
