PYCM 2015 Horizontal

Quite reserved opening. Develops w/ floral aromas of honeysuckle. Palate of young wine w/ crisp high acidity. Mineral & citrus aftertaste, lovely long finish.

A parcel bought in 2013, 2014 is the first vintage from these 50yo vines. High part of the vineyard w/ gravelly, clayey limestone soil.

Both red & white wines are made in the vineyard. It surrounds the Abbaye de Morgeot itself, a large residence that was once home to an order Cistercian monks.

Babykilling. Great balance and is quite approachable though, flowers, lemongrass, touch of skunk weed, coconut, lemon meringue, strawberry, wet rock, hints of butterscotch to come

High mineralogy and high acid. Needs more time for the butter.
