Nose is so airy and mineral with a bit of fat but not much. Seashells. oyster bed, some green apple and lovely wet rain effect. A scene in nature as I like to say. Palate is rich and ripe but with so much nerve and energy and an icing on the cake like texture. Great purity, density and concentration. Long, tangy finish. Really compelling and a bit cold and young so will follow. Nose gets some lemon curd and spice now with air. Wonderful combo of opulence and tension. Really nailed the vintage. — 4 months ago

Gorgeous nose. Very clean and mineral, expansive and exotic but spicey. Sea air and so salty. Tremendous aromas. Rich and silky but great acid and concentrated. Long and with a great kick. Amazing mineral intensity that builds on the finish. And also a fruit explosion.Nose is sick on the empty glass. Flowers. Layered and elegant. — 9 months ago

You can smell that 15 sunshine. Ripe pear, richness, minerals, but very 15 and somewhat chablis. Palate is delicious and rich with a tinge of warmth. Textured and soft but balanced. — 13 days ago

Either bottle variation or in a progressive age where the oak simply needs more time for integration, we'll see how future bottles present. — a month ago

Killer nose. Sweet meyer lemon, some gras, seashells and a faint hint of citrus. Substantial and deep aromas. Crushed wet stones and some flint and matchstick. More will come as it seems to be holding back. Some campfire now with air. What a palate. This is the bizness! Hugely concentrated and pure with insane depth. Green apple and citrus and unreal purity. I mean this is as pure as a fresh snow in Chamonix. Finishes so mineral and seashell inflected it’s like your sucking on a conch shell. Man I love what Fabien is doing here. Huge power and concentration but so nimble and structured. Unreal. Will see where air brings this wine. As this got air it got insanely complex and picked up finesse and even more chewy concentration. — 3 months ago

We did 21 barrel samples so 2020 bottle shot. Bottled in August. Super expressive nose, ripe and exotic. green pea, salt, but so complex and detailed. So much nuance. Silky and complex and has amazing finesse and elegance with an exciting and sapid finish, what energy as well. So mineral on the finish and tremendous complexity. Also a purity that is out of hand.
