Aged a year in neutral French oak. Austere, dry, good acid, with interesting botrytis aromas.

Very rocky wine - stern, unyielding, mineral, very restrained on its fruit profile.

Savannieres on barrique... sure fresh n nice but lax the big fruit. A little like a chablis without the deep acidity.

Dry and mineral-forward, but did not open up well after uncorking the bottle.
