"Impressively complex and precise nose, anise, white fruit, pistachio, sweet flowers, the palate is of the same ilk, incredibly fat, rich and pure, with a lively, crystalline finish." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2019) Superb freshness and balance!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2019 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
The nose is impressively complex and precise, with aniseed, white fruit, pistachio and sweet flowers. The palate is of the same ilk, with incredible fatness, richness and purity, and a lively, crystalline finish.
Gilbert & Gaillard
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
Brilliant pale gold color. Attractive nose combining vanilla, white-fleshed fruit, honeysuckle. Silky attack, round, ample, concentrated palate that reveals intensity and a spicy note. Homogeneous, taut, full-bodied for the table.
