Nez assez aromatique de fruits à chair jaune un peu confis, une bouche pleine, fraiche et riche mais avec une belle acidité, et une bonne longueur. Vraiment très bien. 92-93

All wine, no poker (Lincoln, Mass.): Served with a Sicilian salad, with radicchio, orange, ricotta salata, and pistachios: This wine seems fully evolved, all mineral up front, with tropical fruit flavors following behind and some petrol (so it was surprisingly similar to the 2015 Condrieu that preceded it). Low acidity. The wine may last for a while, but is probably better drunk soon.

Not immediately identifiable as sauvignon blanc - I’d guess chenin as this has a lightly honeyed and waxy presence on the palate and even a bit of sweetness to it. I have heard that these grapes are picked fairly late so perhaps that accounts for the atypical profile. I like this but I feel like it needs a bit more of an acidic backbone to carry the weight of the fruit.

Remarkably fresh, clean, focused, correct. Splendid. Will drink well over next 5+ years.
