A precise, mineral bouquet. It reveals ripe citrus fruit (citron), white flowers with a hint of vanilla (pollen) and harvest notes (almond, wheat). The bouquet also expresses freshness in the form of mint and iodine (sea breeze), gradually complemented by warmer nuances of smoke, hot butter and toast. Creamy attack on the palate, both tender and concentrated. The wine unfolds intensely, supported by the delicate effervescence. The sensation is that of a ripe, full-bodied, concentrated juice carried by this incredible powdery texture with a resolutely saline finish. A few woody, smoky notes further stretch the wine, giving it that extra length and complexity that augurs well for long cellaring. The finish is pure, refreshing and salivating.
