  Superbes flaveurs afriolantes de pomme cuite (légère oxydation), de pomme fraîche, de poire, de beurre, d'amande, de minéral. Acidité moyenne+, belle tension, complexité++, gourmand. Finale caressante, sur les fleurs blanches et les fruits du verger. Présence de lie vers le 1/3 de la bouteille, brumeux mais pas dérangeant. Feeling du VRAI vin comme il se doit. Coup de coeur immédiat!

  Naso incantevole con potenti note sulfuree, vegetali, terrose e di frutta fresca (melone, anguria). Segue bocca altrettanto intrigante. Da riassaggiare con più calma.

  A medium lemon-green, seemingly unfiltered. The nose is mildly oxidative, slightly waxy and woolly, with candied lemon peels, lemon fromage and ripe yellow apples. Here's pretty obvious limestone minerality, a touch of herbs and just a hint of vin jaune. The taste is perfectly dry with a high concentration of old-vine fruit, distinct limestone acidity and persistent flavours. Since the wine is made out of selected grapes from 65-years-old low-yielding vines - with old oak, minimal so2, and a hint of oxidation - this is what a really good white burgundy might have tasted like a century ago. Very interesting and highly drinkable stuff with a good future. Available in Sweden through Vin&Natur and Gaston @240 sek.
