April 17, 2023 - Second bottle of this and my goodness, what a triumph for 16. This is cooler and more vibrant than some of the fatter 16 white burgs, but still with the dense fruit. Delicious.

December 25, 2022 - Bright, light clear-gold color. Great intensity to the nose, with mouthwatering aromas of lime zest, fresh pear, honeysuckle bloom & jasmine, celery salt & crushed stone, hints of nutmeg and butterscotch. Open and expressive on the palate, with terrific intensity and precision to the flavors, showing zesty citrus and orchard fruit consistent from the nose with excellent seamless secondary integration - florals, hibiscus tea, minerality and subtle spices. Medium weight with classy & refined mouthfeel, a dense complex core with rounded edges. Bright and buoyant acidity, woven into a finely structured finish with very nice length.

January 21, 2022 - This really surprised to the upside. The richness and weight are characteristic of the vintage, but this shows an uncommon brightness and verve as well. Great balance. New producer to me and this has me thirsty for more.

June 1, 2020 - Still a bit young. Oak and fruit did not come together at the beginning but it was good indeed. I left it opened for 24h in the fridge. That was stunning wine for its level. Perfect volume, density and richness. Was very very pleasant to drink without loosing aromatic notes.

May 15, 2019 - France and Italy - May 6 to May 10, 2019: Aromas of lemon zest, pear, hazelnut, spices and flowers. Great citrus fruit intensity with round texture and depth on the palate, giving a melted stone mineral note. Fine structure. Terrific length.
