Tasting notes
Tasted blind. Extremely pale water white. Very youthful. Looks young but it’s a very eloquent modern expression of the estate (turned out to be from the Artémis era). Luscious. Some sweetness on the palate entry and then blossom and salinity. Quite long. (JR)

Totally transparent with sliced papaya and melon and underlying bananas and cream. Full to medium body and creamy texture. Mineral and stone. Subtle. So complex. So much honey-flower character. Wonderful viogner.
Deep honey colour. Rich and round – much fatter than the average Condrieu. Pretty wild. Maybe needs a bit of corsetry? Hint of sourness. (JR)
Light green-hued yellow. Highly expressive aromas of fresh pear, nectarine, orange zest and pungent flowers are complemented by a smoky mineral accent. Expansive pit fruit, chamomile and honeysuckle flavors show impressive depth as well as vivacity and sharp delineation. Manages to be powerful as well as lithe and shows silky, seamless texture. Closes with intense mineral cut, a touch of pear nectar and lingering florality.
