En fin de vie, tout fin et acidulé, rondeur fatiguée mais l’ensemble reste satisfaisant, sur la salinité. L’aromatique a perdu de sa splendeur mais rien de rédhibitoire (épices, mirabelle, légère oxy) À boire sans attendre.

Like the other two Hauvette wines I've had, this is a grower. It's subtle and only with time does it reveal how truly great it is. It's a blend of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Clairette, so I was excited to try it because the first two are my favorite white varietals. It does not disappoint. It has a fantastic unctuous mouthfeel that couples well with flavors of beeswax and honeysuckle. The fruits leans somewhat tropical, while maintaining a luscious minerality. Acid is just enough for some tang on the sides of the tongue. Balanced, delicious, elegant, and delightful.

Pretty consistent with prior. Love the beeswax, nuttiness, and salinity.
