15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
"Ambitious ageing on lees and partly in barrel gives it an extra dimension, while retaining its signature minerality. On the nose, honey, beeswax and zest with a hint of pineapple, on the palate a soft, generous feel, with spice and ginger revealing themselves in the middle. Beautiful juice, skilfully vinified with a long, delicate finish". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2017)
