High intensity on the nose even higher on the palate, medium minus acid, full body 14% abv, 30% new French oak, 18 months in barrel, steep slope with deep granite soils. Sea salt, sweet baking spices, just ripe yellow apricot, apple, lime, canned peach, mushroom, and cream. Long finish.

Impeccably made, but misses some of the uncompromising qualities of the Burgundian artisans like Montille and Arlaud.

Nutmeg and clove. Baked citrus tart. Firm acids from the citrus. More lemon orange citrus. Enough mineralogy to keep it clean.
