Le vin est très rond, assagi, avec une grosse intensité aromatique. En dessous du 2006 cependant, en raison d'un déséquilibre qui place l'amertume un peu trop en avant.

France 2013 – Northern Rhone; 4/17/2013-4/19/2013 (Ampuis): Tasted at the Domaine. Some peach and saline notes on the nose with hints Christmas cake and spicy wood. Weighty in the mouth although there is an element of freshness here (despite there not being very much acid) from the minerality. Compared to the 2011 it seems like some of the roundness and fat has been replaced with minerality which adds some lift and freshness. This can go for another 5-6 years no problem. Very good.

Beeswax and honey on the palate before a slightly hot finish. Some pear there as well. It's interesting wine, the finish prevents the score from being higher but it was still enjoyable.

A little bit of heat, but that's normal for white wines from this place. Beautful waxy honeycomb aromas, fresh yellow pears, baking spices. the wine is vibrant and lovely on the nose and the palate is pretty graceful and articulate. These wines can be challenging in that there is no acidity and a lot of alcohol, but Gonon pull it off very well.

Not as excellent as the '06, but good showing. Nice acid. Lovely texture and spice on the nose.
