19 LARVF. "A lighter straw color with some green highlights. The nose starts to blossom with white flowers, an assertive minerality, a yellow peach-oriented fruitiness, honey, a touch smoky. The palate is powerful, spicy, with lots of material; the structure is marked by a verticality and a vibrant acidity that confers a lot of class and linearity to this wine. Here the oak is completely integrated. A grand finish, long, pure, and one gets all the mineral range and smoke. This vintage reveals a great wine well in line with the pedigree of this Domaine."
