Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Very ripe peach on the slightly reduced nose. Sweeter and fruitier than the Chassagne, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the round, pliant middle palate. Better fruit and verve here, and more thrust on the back end.

Fresh and green-scented. Round and fresh – an attractive mouthful for early drinking but not serious. GV (JR)
Pale yellow. Reduced, sexy aromas of peach and minerals. In a riper, sweeter style, with an impression of sucrosite belying its low residual sugar. Juicy peachy fruit is complicated by a saline nuance. Firm acidity gives this a captivating light touch. Finishes with lovely cut and length. A very promising village wine.
