  Nez plutot confit, sur la figue, l'anis, petite touche de citron ... confit.
  La bouche est large, avec du salin derrière, mais les amers prennent un peu de place. Selon ce qu'on mange, ça peut peut faire beaucoup.
  Un rien strict au final, puissant.
  Sans doute un millésime difficile pour les blancs.

  Definitely a ‘wow’ wine for me. Gorgeous apple and apricot blossom nose. Medium weight, medium+ acid, finish just keeps going. Delicious at cork pop, and delicious to the last drop, but there was a clear change from apples to more stone fruits with an hour or so. Beautiful wine.

  White cdp's are not easy to rate as they are so different from other white wines n the same price segment. This one, from one of the region's most renowned white wine producers, is in the same vein, interesting but elusive, almost enigmatic. Modest aromas of olive oil, hay, honeycoomb, and some peach. Very full bodied, almost like drinking olive oil, low acidity and high alcohol (although this is nicely masked). Fills the mouth with peachy fruit with some olive oil tones, ends almost on a bitter note. I have to admit that I probably lack references to treat this wine fairly, as I am used to more aromatic wines. Perhaps I should drink more wines like this, but I do not think I will prioritize this among all the good white wines out there. I will leave my next bottle for couple of years to see what happens.

  Weekly tasting group RWP #314; Mysterious theme: What could be Christmas wines….. (@ VD): This third wine of the flight was the most full bodied and fat wine, with in the bouquet white fruits, anise and pears. On the palate the same fruits, some banana and peach as well, some mineral impressions and also pear. A slight sparkle as well. This is the most intense wine of the flight.

  Quick trade tasting note - pithy and a little blocky but still the richness, spicies, pear, some cured wood and mint leaf.
