Tasting notes
Medium yellow. White peach, crushed stone and a whiff of iodine on the nose. Pure, intense and brisk, with a penetrating quality to the subtly sweet flavors of peach and flowers. Not quite austere but boasts lovely cut and precision thanks to sound, harmonious acidity. Finishes broad and generous, with lingering notes of poached pear and apple.

Pale, green-tinged yellow. Lemon cream and white flowers on the nose, lifted by a mineral perfume. Offers a lovely combination of texture and lift, with bright, complex flavors of citrus fruits, menthol and white flowers. Precise, stylish and long. None of these premier crus have particularly high acidity or low pHs, and yet they hardly lack for verve.
