Pro Reviews

Jancis Robinson (JR)

The flagship wine of this relatively new producer. All grand cru and mainly 2009. Delicate but mature. Lively, appley.  Aperiitf style; not especially intense but certainly very appetising. Dry finish. 6 g/l, apparently.  – 03/02/2016

Vinous Media (VM)

(6 g/l dosage; LS30B16L1): Pale yellow. Orange zest, lemongrass, jasmine and chalky minerals on the perfumed nose, with a hint of white pepper adding lift.  Juicy, mineral-accented citrus and orchard fruit flavors are fleshed out by suggestions of melon and honey, putting on weight with air while maintaining vivacity. Spicy and focused on the very long, mineral-driven finish, which leaves chalky mineral and floral notes behind. – Josh Raynolds – 01/01/2014
