Tasting notes
Decidedly more closed and less forthcoming than the Genevrières with the same elegance and fine minerality with a touch more power and definition. The biggest differences though are the decidedly more pronounced acidity and better overall balance. Borderline austere just now and will need some time to reveal what is presently tightly wound potential.
