A distinctive style, aged on lees for 10 months and undergoing full malolactic fermentation. Subtle, savoury, slightly peppery spice, with orchard fruit, lemon rind, oatmeal and fine herbs leading to a crisp, dry palate with succulent acidity, excellent fruit intensity; a very fine, mealy texture and an attractive umami-like element. Very moreish. Elegant, with good flow and length. Great food wine. Points: 95/100
Light straw in the glass with aromas of pear, lemon and nectarine with hints of crushed stone, crème fraîche, almond meal, fresh and pressed wildflowers, soft spice and a distant suggestion of lanolin and lavender. Dry, with expressive pear and nectarine fruits and a touch of lemon zest and cream. This has a precise line with a lovely stony, savoury sense of travel. Points: 93/100
Savoury and complex; crisp apple and pear fruit layered with crème fraîche, almond and honey. The palate builds in intensity so whilst there is plenty of flavour, the thread of mineral acidity keeps everything tightly bound together. Could be drunk now but better with a couple of years in bottle to be at its best. Points: 95/100
