Aromatic. Plenty of grapefruit and lime. Rather fat but not cloying, still wrapped in oak (Burgundian). Hint of minerality. Light floral, fennel notes. Will benefit from a few more years in the bottle. 45% Sauvignon, 15% Grenache Blanc, 15% Marsanne/Roussanne, 15% Macabeu, 5% Grenache Gris, 5% Malvoisie on granit soils. 14% ABV.

Off the list at 28-50 (28-50, London): Far grassier than the 01 with a sauv blanc nose initially, though this subsides with a bit of air. A little more chemical. Palate far more similar to 01 though. Possibly a slight twang towards the finish and a touch less mineral. ***1/2
