Pours out with a green tinge and is a fresh and vibrant wine of terrific character. There's a hint of toasty development along with pure white peach and lemon fruits. It has richness but has such great clarity, you feel each rocky bump. Flavours hang in the mouth for a long time well after the wine is swallowed. A superb wine!

Wow. Looked so fresh with certainly no sign of any premox. Soft nose but intense. Enters gently and delicately onto the palate belying its hidden power. Indian spice and mild curry leaf essence layered over beautifully intergrated fruit and subtle oak. Seriously long length. Truly delicious.

As with the 'Baudines' plenty of struck match and some toasty oak notes (pain grille if I’m not mistaken) to kick off with but then some piercing citrus and pure white peach come to the fore. In the mouth it is very focused and direct with a high tensile, taut, mineral spine that is sheathed by a micron of fat. I love the energy of this wine and how sharp and clear all of its aromas and flavours are.

Very pale green/gold colour. Light, high toned, reticent nose of citrus, minerals, seashells, acacia flowers and faint aromas warm toasted bread. The palate is very young and dominated by steely acidity, fresh oysters and very pronounced minerality. The oak is almost absent at this stage as if there is no new oak at all. Crisp and mouthwatering. Very precise. Needs 2-3 years at least to add some weight.

Very firm acidity, a little floral, low oak, quite bracing.

light yellow. Rich nose butterscotch, vanilla, floral. Palate not very developed but showing fruit and a lemony, mineral, elegant finish. Excellent.
