**** JLL
clear yellow; this has an interesting nose, floral clarity, with soft notes of honeysuckle, white peach with a little salting, plus a hint of oak. There is neat citrus-lemon on the palate debut, the gras richness is well together, precise. It ends on its terroir, holds a crisp, bonny freshness, is nice and calm, well presented. It has more truth and interest than their Crozes blanc. 12.5% abv
