A stunning crisp, powdered stone nose that gently alludes to the savory caper aromas (and really brings to mind 2013 Eric Chevalier Clos de la Butte Muscadet) that arrive for the somewhat clunky midpalate. Finish has a balanced acid but the aromatic residuals feel compact and simplistic, and have a clipped, bitter component on the accumulated finish that reminds me of pickles and gingerbread. If only the palate's elegance could follow suit with the nose! Curious to sample other vintages and cuvees from this revered producer with pre-phylloxera vines.

Even better this time with a lovely orange zest element that adds complexity on both the nose and the aftertaste, that was not that evident previously. Vibrant fruit and crispy acidity with a long aftertaste. Will continue improving. Screw cap version.

Nice, crisp and citrusy white. A hint of ginger and pepper. Pleasantly bitter finish.

Gentle nose, orange peel, fennel and green apple.
Dry, medium+ fresh acidity. Medium+ concentration and medium body. Medium+ finish.
Nice, fresh and balanced, but too simple.
