Aroma
Powerful, complex bouquet of yellow fruit (mirabelle
plum), sweet white flowers (honeysuckle), finely toasted
hazelnuts, and a hint of honey towards the end. The fruit
is deep and concentrated, but finely drawn out by some
powdery notes of damp chalk. After some aeration, the
aromatic power grows to a crescendo as the notes of
harvest and baked apples intensify.
Appearance
Golden yellow hue.
Palate
Concentrated, broad yet delicate palate. Juicy sweetness on
entry that stretches out, carried by a sensation of dryness,
of a cold, saline freshness that draws out the wine’s body.
Vintage Notes
The 2022 vintage brought us record sunshine, with
the sunniest July since 1959 and no fewer than five
high-temperature peaks between spring and summer. It
was a “dryˮ growing season overall, because, although
drought was at the forefront of everyone's minds, we
must not forget the replenishing thunderstorms in June,
rare but invaluable oceanic influxes that ensured the
vines never suffered from a lack of water. And lastly,
we had the “final giftˮ in the form of some mid-August
rain that came at just the right time to bring about
exceptional ripening!
