This is great. Took a couple of days open (!) to bloom, but once it did, it revealed quite a lemon curd richness made buoyant by ample acidity and minerality. Oddly almost a sour diesel-like (as in the strain) note on the nose too.

I didn’t try this until day 3, but it was very fine, richer and with more heft than a bottle last year. Plenty of green apple and golden raisin, with a crisp saline minerality giving it plenty of lift. 91 on day 3.

Crystalline and straw-colored. Kaffir lime, green apple, lemongrass, and seashells on the nose. Medium body with focused, delicate yuzu and tangerine citrus initially on the palate followed by intense saline/briny minerals that linger on the finish for a few seconds. A very mineral-driven chardonnay, I’m a little less enthused as I’m drinking this without food but can imagine this wine pairing well with some oysters or other shellfish. Will see if it changes much over the next few days in the fridge but I don’t anticipate the fruit showing much more than today.

What a wonderful aperitif. Crisp with light citrus and apple notes. Enjoyed it with Camembert on a warm Spring afternoon.
