  Gold, medium intensity. Viscous wine. Peach and apricot on nose. Dry wine with hint of fruit sweetness. Stone fruit and beautiful saline minerality. I really would have never recognised this as a Loire wine. More like a Bourgogne Blanc from a good maker. This is lovely stuff though. Great wine from a great producer.

  A l'aveugle; teinte pale et nez patissier, je ne suis pas du tout en loire, le léger boisé et les aromes pâtissiers (beurre, amande, onctueux), la minéralité saline m'orientent plutôt vers le maconnais (Pouilly? certains disent Viré-clessé, d'autres chenin...). Le vin est assez pur mais un peu chaud, doté d'une minéralité élégante, avec une finale plaisante sur la fraicheur, bref, un bel équilibre le caractérise. En comparaison, la cuvée "normale" (greffée) n'a pas cette finesse ni cette pureté (plus boisé, plus chaud)
