"As I noted in the introduction, the vineyard of Valmur was hailed on in 2012 and the domaine only produced eighteen hectoliters per hectare here in this vintage. The wine was still resting in tank and was to be bottled the week after my visit, so it was absolutely singing. The deep and brilliantly precise nose soars from the glass in a mélange of green apple, tangerine, lime, complex, crystalline and very flinty minerality and a topnote of lime zest. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with stunning focus and balance, great cut and grip and a very, very long and extremely mineral finish. A brilliant wine!"
