Honeysuckle, sharp lemon, and mineral on the nose. Bright, citrusy acidity upfront that carries all the way to the back of the palate. Crisp, lemon flavors are balanced with slight creaminess that adds a bit of needed roundness to the high acidity. The acidity really stands out and in a very good way. Fresh, nervy, and a good example of Aligote.

Loved the nose- buttered popcorn and lemon confit, with some clemintine. The lively acidity seemed too much at first, but settled better with me as I drank it. More citrus on the palate, nice use of barrel, balanced and mineral with a slightly passionfruit finish... which was medium long. I have been searching for good Aligote for a while, and this is one of the best yet. As a wine 90, as an Aligote 92. Not inexpensive but correct. Will buy more.

Nice fruit (citrus, slight apple?), slight floral. Nice balance. Really enjoyable.
