Vibrant pale white gold; lovely nose, floral, fresh fruit, very pure, perfumed, just a hint of evolution; lovely steely backbone, excellent freshness from the Chardonnay, balanced and elegant, not oxidative at all, good weight but very precise and linear for Côte des Bar; very good intensity and length.
No sulphur or very low sulphur. Like mountain water steeped in flowers and a hint of nuts; sea breeze, airy and elegant, very individual flavour profile, nice hint of yellow apple, nice intensity; good length.
Rich golden colour, hint of orange; very intense and explosive nose fills the room, fresh and candied fruit, hint of nuts, deep, fresh and floral; the palate is very energetic and fresh, mineral, juicy and rounded, incredibly lively for age, dry but not austere at all, intense and mouthfilling, power and finesse; excellent length.
The essence of Condrieu, rich and buttery, elegant and floral, apricot and peach, granite minerality, powerful and pure, juicy acidity, zesty bitters, intensity and finesse, wonderful energy and drive; excellent length. This is just amazing. Merveilleux!!
100% Syrah, from vineyards just outside the Côte Rôtie AOP, clay and schist soils, raised in large old oak barrels. Wonderfully lifted aromas of flowers and spice, bright cherry fruit, supple and mineral, smoke, very energetic, light but intense, primary yet subtle, flavoursome; very good length. Quite amazing for what it is.
Attractive pale white gold; very pure and intense grappa nose; delicately sweet palate, juicy, hint of honey, ripe grapes, fresh and lively, flavoursome; good length.
Intense but light greenish white gold; very expressive nose, floral, very pure muscat character; elegantly sweet, intense yet juicy and lively, pure, sweet, vibrant and flavoursome; excellent length. A stunner.
