April 26, 2019 - Reminiscent of Gilles Berlioz's Les Friponnes last year the nose here has a distinct note that to me is very much yoghurt-like - if a bit too much at first it did integrate quite nicely in a short time. Besides that note the nose is classic alpine stuff: very bright and fresh, somewhat restrained aromatically yet not vegetal at all. On the palate it has quite a rich mouthfeel and a lot of oomph to it, especially considering the 12% ABV. The acidity is downright fantastic, providing a great lift, energy and freshness. There is plenty of crisp fruit and some more developed tones that indicate some sur lie ageing having taken place. I love the tangy edge here, this drinks extremely well on its own and is simply a very attractive wine.
