(made from fruit grown in Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger; 8 g/l dosage; L402339 15193A): "Light yellow-gold. High-pitched citrus and orchard fruit scents are complemented by notes of honeysuckle, lemongrass and chalky minerals. Spicy, focused and mineral-driven, with intense Meyer lemon, tangerine and pear skin flavors given depth by a hint of brioche. A note of smokiness builds on the finish, which hangs on with outstanding floral persistence."
