"Utterly primary nose hints at minerals and lavender. A wonderfully subtle, taut version of this cru, with powerful minerality underpinning flavors of citrus fruits and grilled almond. Outstanding finesse here. Finishes with terrific mounting length and class. Pillot believes this may be his finest Morgeot yet and I would not argue with that assessment. Wonderfully subtle wine."
