Fabulous! Fantastic brioche nose. This was rich, yeasty, and creamy with notes of lemon, lemon curd, and marzipan. Very good perlage. Lingering finish of lemon scones.

Richly toasted nose. Fresh, sweet brioche toasted medium brown, then drizzled with honey, apricot jam and toasted walnuts. Medium-light bodied, there's a bit of fresh (still warm) yogurt flavor on the palate. While the nose is exemplary, it seems as if the palate may have suffered just a bit from age. That said, this is quite mature and a delight to drink! Drink now and over the next 18-24 months. Undeniably complex. 90

More weighty than the Sauvage, pleasant texture, great acid. Suave and polished, excellent finish. A different style than the Sauvage but difficult to call it better.

Elegant bouquet of yeast, limestone, iron, and iodine, with honeysuckle and orange blossom honey notes. Robust and rounded mouthfeel, polished texture, long and appealing finish. Very interesting.
