"The bouquet is a youthful mélange of apple, white peach, brioche, a lovely base of stony soil tones and a touch of hazelnut in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and brisk, with the vintage’s cut and mineral drive nicely displayed. The core of the wine is just fine, the focus and balance are very good, the mousse reasonably fine and the length and grip on the finish excellent."
