Tasting notes
Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of yellow peach, honey, vanilla and nuts. Round and spicy on the palate, with apple, pear and peach flavors enlivened by notes of stone and bitter lemon pith. Good fruity, easygoing wine with a slightly lean finish.

Eight to 12 months in barrel, up to 15% new. Minerally citrus but not very expressive. Light and creamy and fresh. Slight and gentle but fresh finish lingers a little. (JH)
Pure, restrained aromas of kiwi, creme brulee and stone. Riper than the premier cru, boasting lovely texture and cut to its slightly exotic flavors of stone fruits and acacia flower. Finishes with good grip and rising length. Firmly built and serious for the vintage.
