Tasting notes
(bottled in January of 2008) Good bright yellow color. Deep aromas of flint, lemon drop and minerals, with a complementary note of smoky oak. Rich and supple in the mouth, with ripe flavors of lemon, minerals and stone. Less lush and smooth than the Mont de Milieu but distinctly more mineral-driven. Finishes dusty, broad and classically dry. This is 13.5+% alcohol without chaptalization.

((13.5% alcohol; aging in a combination of 70% oak and 30% cuve From barrel) Pale yellow. Aromas of nectarine, snap pea, menthol and mint; conveys a suggestion of musky minerality. Densely packed and concentrated; more reserved and less exuberant than the premier crus, with sound acidity to cut its flavors of peach flesh and spices. A rich wine with a persistent, firm finish. From cuve: Good pale color. Citrus hints, ripe pineapple and hazelnut on the nose. Dense, chewy and rich, with the pineapple fruitiness accompanied by mint and menthol. A bit more vibrant than the portion from barrel. The most tactile and minerally of these 2006 samples. The blend should be excellent.
