Usually sourced from Les Vermots and Les Gollardes, but the fruit from the latter vineyard replaced this year by bought in fruit. Medium lemon. Nose shows tropical fruit (grapefruit), some chalky minerality. Medium bodied, tropical again, vibrant acidity carrying a good length finish. Very good, drinking now. ***.
