A very clean, pure nose of green-shaded orchard fruits with lemon essence, gorgeous floral tones and subtle minerality. Good midpalate richness married to a great balance of integrated acidity. Great palate impression and this should continue to age well on its balance. If anything, this is holding back its material just a bit yet. 90(+)? Wonderful drinking today for its appellation.

A private lunch (Restaurant Cucina del Mondo *, Heerlen, NL): Intense but elegant, well-integrated but noticeable oak, slightly earthy, well-balanced, ripe citrus, touch of caramel, flowers, ripe lemon and a hint of peach, savoury note, vigourous, subtle bitters, very good length; the 40% Premier Crus in the blend really provide additional elegance and length. Drink now - 2024.
