  Colour: light gold, bright, clear.
  Nose: full, rounded and mature, purer than the Pierrets 2018, stone fruit notes,
  Taste: med body, rounded, v ripe, intense stone fruit so not v Germanic varietal, good acidity, long finish, off dry, nectarines.
  Overall, this is much more elegant than the 2018 Pierrets, yet it is instark contrast to the excellent dry German Rieslings.

  Quiet for the first say 40 mins - i.e., stone fruit, waxiness, more tropical fruit a bit like pinot gris, good acidity; but not very expressive. after 40 mins, more expressive: got more acacia, peaches; bit more balanced, not overly sweet -- high alcohol @ 13.5% but didn't feel that way. nice acidity, lingering finish (got more pineapples at the end). average at first, but ended up strongly at the end! would suggest 1 hour letting it breathe from the bottle if you can resist the urge to drink! we only got there after finishing 60% of the bottle!

  Nez typé Riesling pour les 3 sur les fruits blancs avec des notes pétrolées. Le nez le plus ouvert et la bouche la plus complexe des 3. Issu d’un terroir plus chaud, en partie à l’abri des vents, il démontre davantage d’épices douces et de maturité du fruit. Les épices sont même un clin d’oeil au Pinot Gris. Il change en cours d’aération, perdant de sa finale douce amère initiale pendant la soirée. La texture la plus riche des 3, mais le profil demeure sec. Constant le lendemain. Un terroir qui me plairait probablement moins sur un millésime très chaud mais sur 2019 c’est très bon.
