A private pre-Christmas Dinner with Friends (at home): There is some confusion about the name of the wine, “Granit” or “Granite”. The label of this magnum bottle says the latter, but I will record it here as the former. Hermine d’Or No. 67247. Intense but lively medium yellow colour; lovely salinity on the discreet nose, with citrus and flowers, and smoky minerality; the palate is soft but fresh, light but intense, harmonious, with lemon curd and juicy apple fruit flavours; complete finish, good length.

Nez qui sent la pomme je pensais à un Brézé! Belle richesse, du volume, acidité basse, c'est bon, un peu simple mais tout un vin pour le prix. Une très belle surprise. 89 pts

Clean and mineral on the nose. Tight and tart. Nice salinity. No oak here. Mineral finish.

C'était la dernière bouteille, je me réjouissais. Le liège domine hélas. ce que l'on sent derrière semble pourtant bigrement intéressant...

le vin a bien évolué, sur le miel. encore une acidité à l'ouverture, mais il est bien fondu après aération. Super le lendemain
