A year and a half since my last btl, roughly. On the nose: melon, with creme fraiche, basil, meyer lemon, meyer lemon zest. Not sure I would believe BdB blind. Color suggests skin contact...almost soft peach. On the palate: aggressive mousse at first...maybe needed a decant. Lovely acidity, lime, bitter citrus, a touch short, and very juicy on the dense and tangy finish. A stunner.

Much more evolved than my previous btl, but still so young. On the nose, a touch of lees, and bright lenon and tangerine, some honeysuckle. On the palate, just searing acidity (I love it), a touch of vanilla, citrus oil, lovely.

not blind less pear than usually, chalky, salty, brutal acidity but really fresh in the finish. I like more and more the L'amateur. more reductive but viel a lot of substance in the wine. 92-93

Pale yellow, moderate bubble. Citrus, flower and yeast on the nose. Very lean and austere on palate. Clean with some bitter stem on finish. Better with air and at a slightly warmer temp than usual. Overall a pretty wine on the nose, slender and precise on the palate. Might be something worth pairing with a richer food, I didn't have the luxury

absolute rush of flavor and yeasty richness. Ripe red apple, lemon curd, green almond. Really tasty.
