Community Tasting Note

  • Eudemis Likes this wine:

    January 26, 2023 - 13.5% alcohol. Half bottle; Diam5 closure. Poured a glass 30 mn ahead by way of aeration. Pale straw colour, pretty luminous.
    The nose is intense, more flowery than fruity, with both fresh and dried flowers; very stylish and very pure. Yellow plum appears eventually. The mouth is similarly impressive, displaying power without opulence; not unlike a top Chablis but without the steel. Still all muscle and no fat; no oak either. Superb length with an extravagant display in the finish.
    Marvelous with scallops roasted in their shell. So intense is the experience that you don't feel short changed by the half bottle.
    Talking about change, this cost me about 40€, and it is nearly worth the price (and I am notoriously stingy...). Certainly my most memorable white since Dauvissat's 2015.
    In perfect condition now and hopefully for the next five years at least.
    Maybe give it a full decant the next time.
