"65-year-old Chardonnays, grown organically, have produced this 2020, with its lovely golden brilliance and aromatic complexity: licorice, verbena, jasmine and vanilla. The palate is lively and energetic, centered on citrus fruits and a fine minerality that give it great depth and length. A great bottle to reserve for a choice dish, such as lobster à l'armoricaine or pan-fried foie gras escalope". (Le Guide Hachette 2023)
