Wow. The nose on this is beautiful. White flowers. Perfume. Intense but elegant. A 9.7 nose. Crushed seashell.

Palate is elegant tropical fruit. A bit hot at first but it blows off. Good deliciousness but not in your face.

Major crush on this producer. Such elegant wines. This vintage reminds me a bit of Rhône legend Marc Sorrel.

Wow. Whopping chablisien fruit out of the gate. So mineral. Explosively.

Awesome lechet fruit. So dense. Luscious. Mineral. This vintage seems more straightforward and less Reflecting the intense house style than other vintages. Stunningly delicious. Bravo.

I cannot emphasize how delicious this is. It’s the apogee of lechet.
