Note du Guide Hachette des Vins : 2**(Vin remarquable) + Coup de Coeur
"A golden wine with a flattering nose combining very ripe exotic fruit, citrus and a mineral nuance. In fine continuity, the palate develops these overripe aromas, adding pear and apricot to the palette. It combines richness and finesse thanks to its fine acidity, which lends elegance and tone to the long finish. This bottle, which will be at its best from 2015 onwards, is ideal as an aperitif and with sweet and sour fish". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)

Wonderful acidity, good length - still very good a year laterbut a bottle stored in the kitchen had to referment over the summer (appearance of perlance, CO2).

Tasted in November 2015, a very fine wine at full maturity, very sapid with a round, well-balanced palate.

Sure, it's very fragrant. But it's slightly effervescent, and for me that's a sign of poor vinification and spoils the wine irreparably.

It has that touch of acidity that offsets the sweetness and makes it very well-balanced.
