Estimate
Honey, citrus oil, and fresh ginger reinforce an impression of bitter-sweetness on the palate, along with suggestions of musk, crustacean reduction, and brine. This finishes with electric vivacity and implacable grip...
This offers a step up in aromatic elegance with acacia blossom, quinine, citrus peel and sea shore aromas that are framed by a gentle touch of wood, which is also reflected by the intense, powerful and quite serious big-bodied flavors...
Closed nose hints at honey. Then surprisingly incisive and classic on the palate, with terrific citric cut and firm minerality; not a fleshy style but not hard either. In fact, this is surprisingly showy and perfumed now.
This producer now sells its wines under the name Domaine Francois Raveneau.
