Tasting notes
Light, bright yellow. Brisk aromas of lemon, lime, ginger and crushed stone. Juicy, sappy wine with citrus and spice flavors framed by underlying minerality and well-judged oak. Finishes firm, fresh and persistent, with subtle citrus lift and good energy for the year. Technical director Jérôme Flous told me last year that this wine had 4.4 g/l acidity, and no doubt this high-elevation, stony site was favored in 2015. Balanced from the start but has the energy and salinity to gain in texture and nuance in bottle.

(13.2% alcohol): Pale, green-tinged color. Lively musky aromas of lime, apple, crushed rock and white flowers. Nicely rich and opulent but also juicy, brisk and vibrant, showing good minerality and acid retention (4.4 g/l today) for 2015, along with a sexy touch of oak. This wine needs considerably more élevage , says Flous, who noted that it may not be bottled until April of 2017.
