Not very aromatically expressive. Waxy, medium weight, moderate + acidity, with a consistent lime-lime zest-lime sorbet flavor. This is another village bottle that has held up better than the more oxidized Rollin premier crus from 2012, but this bottle doesn't have the energy of some of the others that we have had. It is a savory and appealing wine in spite of its flat-footedness.

Honey, menthol, green apple, melon. Medium weight. Slightly dilute in the middle, and still showing some reductive bitterness in the aftertaste, but overall an elegant, delicious white, fully drinkable now but likely to last another few years. In my experience, this village wine is better than the Rollin premier crus.

This is a mellow, autumnal wine, with an understated presence, flavors of apple cider and quince, an increasingly unintegrated acidity, and a small degree of oxidation. Drink soon.

Hints of lime and pineapple, an undercurrent of salinity, lots of green-apple acidity. Crisp and delineated. No oxidation. Less advanced than the "Cloux" bottling from the same vintage. Drinkable now but should keep.

6/6. Pale/medium straw. Striking, intense nose, spicy with underlying creaminess, citrus. Medium bodied, nice balance between creamy richness and underlying freshness, touch of stony mineral, vibrant acidity, good length finish. Excellent for the level.
