From the producer: Pale yellow colour. The nose shows the strong limestone influence: mineral, stone driven, citrus fruits and some white fruits (peach) after some aeration. The wine fermented in a large recent oak cask (foudre) and was on full lees until bottling. The palate is quite strict, bone dry, with a racy sapid acidity that gives a juicy texture on the finish.

An elegant Chardonnay that is bright and vibrant with thorough oak use. This is aged in oak and goes through a full malolactic fermentation and stirring of the lees. The aromas deliver baked apple and baking spice with vanilla and some minerality. The palate is full and round in body, quite ripe and shows some underripe pineapple. More power comes through on the palate with French oak notes and richness in the midpalate. This is somewhere between Burgundy and California in profile. Hints of chalky minerality, key limes, and green apples on the nose, the citrus notes continue on the palate, along with a burst of apricots and fresh cream.

The palate has some honeyed qualities and it does carry some residual sugar but is balanced with the spiciness on the finish. This has a complex palate and continues to delivery savory white tea, and dried herbs with traditional lychee. From the producer: pale yellow colour. The nose shows a restraint, almost mineral, smoky aromatic expression, so typical from a limestone soil. It eventually opens up and reveals ripe citrus, exotic fruits in a very elegant way. The palate shows a surprising freshness and acidity, and finishes with a balanced delicate sweetness. Clearly this wine will benefit from further ageing in order to allow it to express its full potential.
