Organic wine; blend of chardonnay, semillon, petit manseng & gros manseng. The nose is lifted and quite floral, with the palate following suit. Orange blossom takes the forefront on both counts with only a teeny tiny soupçon of pet nat funkiness. In spite of its 13.5% ABV, there is a weightlessness and delicacy to this wine that comes as quite a surprise. It drinks like a dream and with a crazy long finish to boot.
APPEARANCE: Color & intensity: medium gold
NOSE: Intensity: medium (+) Aromas: orange blossom, kumquat, white peach, bread dough, wet stones, hint of flint Development: developing
PALATE: Sweetness : dry Acidity: medium (+) Alcohol : medium Body: medium Mousse: delicate Intensity: medium Flavors: orange blossom, kumquat, lemon zest, crushed stone, bread dough, hint of salt Finish: long
CONCLUSIONS: Quality level: very good Potential for ageing: can drink now, but has potential for some further ageing Other observations: slightly cloudy
