It has quite a rich bouquet with dried honey and almond notes, touches of yellow plum and lanolin. The palate is surprisingly rich, balanced – good fruit definition.
Reviews:
- Tim Atkin: Showing the coolness of its 570 metre site, it has lots of structure, some crème fraîche notes from full malolactic, nuanced oak and a core of tangerine and fresh lemon.
- Vinous: It has quite a rich bouquet with dried honey and almond notes, touches of yellow plum and lanolin emerging with time. The palate is a little honeyed on the entry like the Chenin Blanc, slightly lower in acidity.
