Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. Not as good as the 2014 samples next to it but still very nice freshness and aromatics.

Very nice, slightly reductive stony nose that’s really opened up with time in the glass; notes of minerals, flowers, petrol, melon and tropical fruit. Multi layered palate of ripe fruit with forward minerality, zesty acidity, and nice weight with a polished, mineral driven finish. Delicious

Wine Tasted at Acker Auction (Marea - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Slightly reductive start, which quickly dissipated, which more floral notes then emerging. Tropical and stone fruit with impressive density for its level. Very good now.

Slightly greenish in the beginning. Develops with vivid ripe fruit: exotic and citrus. Minerality of crushed rocks. Oily texture. Extroverted character of Garenne terroir with light soil offering more finesse.
La Garenne is ‘domaine’ cru. Belonged to an aunt, who previously sold the grapes to Olivier Leflaive. Vines are 65+ years old.
This wine will shine many years ahead, but already approachable.

Has a clean and pure nose of white peach and honeysuckle. There’s excellent shape in the mouth and a fruit-sweet heart. Buried deep in the flesh is some chalky structure and it kind of has build like red wine, in a very good way.

Nose is pretty, with reduction and tropical fruit. Palate unbalanced and boney. 88

excellent. young but has everything i love - some matchstick reductive notes in the nose, white stone fruit, minerality and great cut/acidity.
