Superb. Very elegant and balanced. Not the depth of some vintages but this is really quite pretty for vin jaune. Perfect with a 36 month comte but could be drunk through a whole meal. To my taste, I would drink now because why wait for it to get too funky and old?

PNP into Radikon tasting glass (“Fruit” day): Slightly cloudy orange copper to the eyes. Lightly preserved apricots, almond, cumin, fume (smoke), cigar box, VA on the nose. Profile not dissimilar to sherries.
Very highly mineral and acidic on the palate, fresher apricots and citrus fruits and extremely persistent yet elegant on the clean and crisp finish. The tingling minerality last for a good minute.
A great wine that caresses the palate. 93-94 points.

Tasting with Pierre Overnoy and Emmanuel Houillon in Kyoto (kiln in Kyoto, Japan): Emmanuel’s comments: 100% Savagnin (at least 8-10 years of ageing, assemblaged, released in 2011). 2000 is deemed a great vintage and retains good freshness.
