Deep lemon in the glass. Tight as fuck at first, but it's also because it was too cold. I had a feeling that there was too much MLF on this, but as the wine warmed up, it opened up - notes of ripe peach, nectarine, cantaloupe, roasted pineapple, brioche, yogurt. Well-balanced in the mouth, with a bright acidity that highlights the generous fruit and balances itself out with the alcohol. Long, zippy finish marked with notes of citrus rind and slight salinity. Great example of a superb vintage!

Wow was this just a huge surprise to me! Never would I in my life have guessed a white NSG 1er?!
It was super lean with a great tension and superb acidity that was so well-integrated at this point - 2014 is truly a stunning vintage.
Citrus fruits, lemon curd, white flowers, white peach, nuttiness, a green touch and very subtle oak with some vanilla that's well-integrated after these years. Firm, structured and a really sophisticated wine.

Extremely charming nose with notes of herbs and nuts. On the palate a perfect acidity and nice viscosity. Peach and nuts in the finish. White NSG is almost always an interesting experience. 90-92P
