Tasting notes
From a .89 hectare parcel with gravel and limestone, the wine offers a perfume filled with fresh picked flowers, citrus fruit, lemon rind, vanilla and minerality. Rich in texture and with ample acidity to give it lift, the wine ends with a long, clean, pure, sweet, ripe, lemon filled finish. I really liked the wine. But I was stunned by the price. This will sell for about $1,000 a bottle! Trust me, this was one wine I did not spit. I should of had a second taste . 95 Points

Bright, pale yellow. Knockout perfume of white peach, rose petal, sugar-coated almond and brioche. Highly concentrated, silky and fine-grained, with the strong rose note repeating. Really wonderful ripeness without any excesses here. Best today on the splendid rising, palate-saturating finish.
