Other Reviews….
(just 23 hectoliters per hectare produced): Pale yellow. A touch of mineral reduction to the aromas of apple, white peach and iodine. Silky and dense on entry, then creamy and deep in the middle, but with good saline mineral punch giving the wine an impression of thrust. The very long, bright, rising finish features a musky suggestion of quinine. With its concentration and balance, this is a superb premier cru in the making.
