Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Lovely purity to the aromas of nectarine and flowers. Sweet and fine-grained, showing a compellingly silky texture to its stone fruit and nutty oak flavors. Finishes sedate and long, with lovely balance. Really seamless for the vintage.

Bright pale yellow. Pure, tangy aromas of white peach, lime blossom and stone. Sappy, sweet and saline, with a touch of youthful austerity to the rich flavors of stone fruits, noble herbs and spicy minerality. Shows a lovely sugar/acid balance but comes across as quite tight today, without the early sex appeal of the Pucelles.
