Wine Critic Reviews

VertdeVin (93): The wine has a pale lemon-yellow color. The nose is reserved and requires aeration. It then offers ripe and concentrated fruit material, as well as beautiful complexity. The nose expresses notes of fresh quince and quince jam, white peach, apricot, yellow plum, as well as tangy citrus notes (orange zest, lemon, grapefruit, lime jam), associated with floral notes (dried field flowers, apple blossom), subtle spicy touches (vanilla, ground cumin in the background), herbal (lemon thyme, hay), and mineral (dry stone, limestone) in the background. On the palate, the wine offers creaminess, roundness, beautiful complexity, and concentration. The attack is smooth, fragrant, and slightly spicy. Notably, there are subtle flavors of vanilla and nutmeg, as well as a sweet note of acacia honey. In the mid-palate, the wine offers juicy and ripe fruit (yellow peach, apricot, quince, lemon), as well as touches of candied fruits (quince jam, lemon jam), fresh and dried flowers (apple blossom, acacia, a hint of orange blossom), dried herbs (hay, lemon thyme), spices (clove), and a fine minerality (dry stone). The finish is persistent and also offers notes of tea leaves, fresh vanilla, and beeswax. The acidity is smooth but in harmony with the wine's profile. Beautiful structure, complexity, a rich and refined wine.

VertdeVin (90): The wine has a pale lemon color. The nose is fresh, tangy, slightly vegetal. It expresses notes of fresh grass, boxwood, a slight note of green bean, associated with citrus notes (lime, lemon), green pomelo, green apple, as well as floral touches of acacia, fresh linden, and a fine hint of honey and minerality (dry stone, slightly smoky) in the background. On the palate, the wine is juicy, fruity, fresh, with salivating acidity and an aromatic attack. It expresses notes of lemon zest, lime juice, grapefruit, green apple, apple blossom, linden, and acacia, as well as a delicate smoky and saline mineral touch in the background. The finish is persistent and offers juiciness and a certain roundness of crunchy stone fruits (white peach, white nectarine), a herbal touch, as well as good bitterness and a delicate salinity at the end of the mouth. The acidity is lively and refreshing. A chiseled wine, with fruity material and a certain concentration.

Wine Enthusiast (88): Bright and ripe white fruits bring out zesty flavors in this wine. It is fresh and crisp at the end. Drink now.
