Floral nose evolving towards fruit. Appreciable lenght and tension.

Cured lemon peel, wet rock, soy. Satisfying density of tangerine, lime juice, and pumpkin seed. Medium plus acidity is well integrated. Finishes long and slightly funky. Thirst quenching.

Much more energetic than the Vouvrays I have enjoyed. Bright, delicious wine with an almondy creaminess, coupled with ripe stone fruit, lemon approaching marmalade, and even white flowers. There is a mushroom quality in the nose that I find quite enjoyable.
