Incredible wine. Wow. Talk about Burgundian mimicry. This screams Chassagne 1er cru in that there is an intense florality and unreal minerals.. Wow the complexity is off the charts. Genius!! Tangerine, lemon, sweet lime, green apple, blood orange and so much more. Just magic. 9.7 nose. Intense concentration and purity and my goodness the finesse is just unreal. Delicate like only the best wines can be with enormous material but so nimble. Sapid and dense.but so focused and nimble. Balance. Wow wow wow. I am blown away. This has an indescribable quality. That X factor. A wine of such beauty and revelation words fail me. I love the mineral sweetness of this wine as it opens and the classic Laible florals are off the chain.

Nose: white flowers. Finely powdered minerals. Very fine. Needs and hour to open and for the traces of wood to mostly blow off.

Palate: super clean. Very focused. Mineral in a precise way. Vaguely lemony but not about the fruit. Some lactic richness. Good acidic balance. As this opens gorgeous sweet Meyer lemon fruit.

I’m guessing this will be way better in 2 years. There’s a teeny bit of remaining oak which is distracting from what this will be.

A minimum 9.5 with 9.8 upside.
