The wine is worth decanting. It expresses notes of juicy/fresh mirabelle plum, fresh physalis and more slightly – fresh spices, associated with fine touches of smoke, nutmeg and a hint of peach blossom. The palate is nicely built, fruity, frank, tense, discreetly tight/contained. It expresses notes of quince, pear and more slightly – small yellow…
Made from old vines, 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne, on granitic, shallow soil, facing south and south-east, it is matured on fine lees and develops sweet, juicy notes on the nose. With aromas of ripe tropical fruit and light hints of honey, it is very inviting and enveloping on the palate, round with good plumpness…
Composed of 70% Roussanne and 30% Marsanne, it is born on granite soil at 350 meters above sea level with eastern exposure. It matures 9 months in French barriques. It develops aromas of cedar, citrus fruits and hints of wildflowers and birch. On the palate it is characterized by great energy, an iodine and brackish…
The nose is very pretty with a nice freshness. We have notes of ripe lemon with a mineral, smoky touch, with imperceptible notes of sage and mint in the background. On the second nose, we perceive more pineapple and juicy peach. The mouth is buttery, toasted with notes of pineapple, apple, lemon and orange blossom….
The nose is fresh with notes of ripe lemon and touches of grapefruit. We also perceive a hint of butter. We are in a classic Saint-Romain style. The second nose opens with pineapple, toast and a little creaminess. The palate is fresh and aromatic with peach and orange blossom. This continues in the final.
The nose is pretty, fresh with green fruits like lime and zest. We perceive a hint of butter with a mineral, smoky side. The palate is round on the attack with a nice freshness. There are notes of pineapple, white peach and a slight touch of lemon. There is a nice little sweetness which contributes…
The nose is fresh and smoky with a tangy, lemony side. The second nose opens with a little menthol and still lemon with a nice toast. The palate is fresh, with a nice acidity. However, there is roundness with notes of lemon and lime. It is a real wine of pleasure with salivation and a…
Struck matches on the nose; the wine has a fantastic tension between precise laser-like lime acidity and rich, almost exotic peach fruits. Very concentrated, well-balanced with great length. The oak is there but, in the background, the acidity fresh and integrated. Drink now or keep a decade or more.
Fresh citrus blossom aromas, with a touch of oak; gorgeous mineral-driven lemon and lime zest with green apples and some rich fruit too. Linear with a distinctive saline finish. Not unlike a top Puligny-Montrachet with its racy acidity and structure. A brilliant wine, but one for the long haul.
A relatively rich powerful Chardonnay with forward aromas of white flowers. The palate is full, almost lush, with ripe succulent pure yellow stone fruits – peaches and nectarines, underpinned by subtle notes of toasted nuts. It is all held nicely in check by a core of juicy mineral acidity. It lingers nicely. A young promising…
