This is the back-up white after the starter (the 2016 Chateau Olivier Blanc) was benched for oxidation. And it’s as good as the bottle I had a couple of months ago. Very minerally, with wet gravelly limestone notes abounding, some apple and pear fruit underneath. Crisp and with solid flavor density. If you favor minerally and lean white burgs over the more fruit-centric style, you’ll dig this, and at a good price too.
