Jacquere and Malvoisie. Very fresh nose, cool and mountainous, nice hint of malvoisie; soft attack, ripe but fresh palate, light but with good intensity, very pure, floral and mineral flavours, good length.
From three parcels in Grille-Midi, La Madone and Champagne, 2 ha in total. All natural, evanescent hint of barnyard on the nose, fresh but with lovely ripe fruit, all silk and charm, violets, peaches and cherries, just a hint of tannin for balance, light but intense, old vine creaminess, complex but so beguiling, very good length. An essence of Fleurie.
