Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sept/Oct 2011
Pale, bright yellow. Delicate aromas of white peach and crushed stone. Rich, intensely flavored and vibrant, conveying more energy and personality today than the Genevrieres. Strong minerality buffers the wine's huge ripeness and frames and extends the bracing finish. A superb showing but there's more to come with bottle aging.
93(+?) points.

A ripe yet airy and quite cool nose of indisputable class reflects notes of citrus, stone and white flowers that serve as a graceful preface for the intensely mineral-driven, tension-filled and chiseled flavors that possess sneaky power and outstanding length. There is notably more acidity here than in the Genevrières and better persistence as well.
91-94 points and Sweet Spot Outstanding! |
