Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 16
(the grand crus were bottled about two weeks before my visit): Pale, bright yellow. Very subtle, scented aromas of lemon, flowers, noble herbs, white pepper and crushed stone. Sedate and harmonious in the mouth, with terrific intensity and sweetness to its floral and citrus flavors. Not especially fleshy or open-knit but this wine has the balance for a graceful evolution in bottle. Strong lemony acidity draws out the long, subtle, resounding finish.
