Domaine La Croix Mélier - La Pièce Qui Tourne 2016 (moelleux)
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"In his first year at the helm of the estate, Philippe Ivanic has made a big splash with this sweet wine from a plot of old vines planted in curved rows. The must was vinified in barrels, where it remained for eleven months. The color is pale with golden highlights. The nose, still discreet, is focused on fruit. The palate develops long and harmoniously, without hiding its sweetness, releasing aromas of honey, pineapple, and ripe grapes, supported by a pleasant freshness. Already excellent, and will remain so for a long time. " (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)
