Unashamedly oaky on the nose with buttery and vanilla notes on display, adding up to an almost pastry kind of a feel. Not lacking any fruit though, as there is plenty of delicious notes of citrus and apricot with a hint of spearmint. Worlds apart from the trendy super reductive Chardonnays. On the palate it is markedly rich and somewhat heady with pretty ripe fruit. At the same time is manages to have crispness and bitterness about it that provide it with some welcome edge. It has volume and some weight but is not at all weighty or tiresome. It is wonderfully textured with a bit waxy feel. I wouldn’t call it refreshing due to the 14% ABV but overall it is balanced and very tasty. It has its own style and is just a great effort all around.

Robe jaune d'intensité moyenne
Nez frais qui s'intensifie après quelques minutes d'ouvertures. Bonne complexité d'arômes beurre, pain, chêne, vanille, grillé léger.
Bouche fraîche et légèrement grasse, saveurs de beurre et vanille léger. Longueur moyenne.
Toujours un de mes meilleurs rapports qualité-prix.
