Fresh and bright nose. Loads of petrolly minerality. So mineral. Some deep apple-skin fruit. Challengingly dry in the mouth. Liquid stones. A quarry full. A geologist’s dream.

Powerful petrol and tropical fruit on the nose topped with orange peel and japanese pear. Delicious layered palate of childishly playful acidity, citrus notes, deep minerality and fantastic mouthwatering finish. Wine of the flight with great potential to age. #airfrance #lapremiere

Lime, faint lemon, citrus. Long lasting finish. Fairly mild wine. Good with Yokozuna sushi at home.

This was served too cold. Much better as it warms up. Went well with a spicy chilled corn soup.
