Pale, bright yellow-green. Knockout nose combines ripe pineapple, dried fruits, lemon, lime, crushed stone, minerals and mint. A wine of outstanding intensity, power and thrust, with sappy mineral and toasted bread flavors...
With juicy lime; high-toned herbal essences including a hint of peppermint; fresh pit fruits; and a palpably chalky mineral dimension. Incredibly dense, yet shapely and not in the least heavy, this penetrates with uncanny grip...
..aromas of white flower, quinine, saline, minerals & seashore nuances that give way to rich & robust, indeed huge flavors that are perhaps a bit less refined than those of the Valmur or Preuses but there is another dimension here of depth.
Riper citrus on the nose, even a touch of honey despite the intense minerality of youth. Citrus with a little white pepper. Broader on the palate than les Preuses. Powerful, great clarity and extremely crisp on the finish...
