Wonderful crystalline raspberry and wet pavement with a hint of salinity and herbal / citrus spritz that lingers with the faintest of tannins. I love me the books and crannies of the Côte.

Still quite youthful and needs air to open up. Once it does, it reveals just ripe, sappy cherry and loads of cracked stone minerality. In the mouth it’s got good intensity and a high-toned, right feel. Lean and athletic. No excess fat. Very good acids and an intensely mineral finish.

Really good. Plenty of fruit, well balanced by earth and ashy notes.

Delicate and bright. Sweet yet zingy cherry fruit is brightened by limestone dust and a hint of fruitcake. High-toned minerality leads the zesty cherry fruit into a cleansing, mouthwatering finish. With a tad more concentration this would have been off the charts. Still, for low $20s, great value.

Wine dinner 6/10/17. Excellent white Burg with balanced profile of floral and mineral notes.

Full of bouquet of fruit but still young. 5 yrs will make this blossom. Paired with some homemade terrine compagne and entrecôte
