Quite light straw . Very complex and taut on the nose , with crushed shells , touch of honied citrus fruits , gun flint , green apple , camomile . On the palate this is very mineral and intense with chalk dust and citrus , apple peel , really long and mineral . Good volume but really excellent balance . Perfect fresh acidity, and saline mineral intensity on the finish . Really young still but so good at the moment , though will continue on like this , probably improving for a further decade at least . Restaurant Drouant , Paris .

In a very quiet place - the 2014s are really starting to shut down. Lovely stony, lemony minerality with light spice, palate is very elegant and soft, with a little nerve. However I think now is the right time to start laying these GCs down for this vintage. Lovely things will be underway.

Palate is round and structured, with generous acidity and minerality that compliments the fruit/oak backbone of the wine. Finish is long, elegant, and graceful, but still very tight in certain respects. This will be a long ager for sure. Opening it now would be a shame.
