Needed a day. But then really pure and elegant. There is a touch of heat which really keeps my rating lower. Too bad for the heat.

Leclapart L'Apôtre is amazing...15000 bts only, its clear, fresh, mineral, with multi layers of flavors and with an acidity to join any aperitiv or any kind of food. Produced from vines planted in 1946 by David's grandfather, its really something these bubbles.

Wonderful expression with grilled lemons, white peach and tart apple flavors, this is strict with gun flint additions on the fresh, seriously chalky finish. Long and mouthwatering.

Needed to quite a bit of time, but it was worth it. Very interesting, leaner style, but with a magical twist to it, i love David's wines and it surprises me every damn time — always new and always fun. Kind of reminds of Musar in that way — it's never the same, yet every bottle is charmingly delicious.
