Appearance
Bright golden-yellow color with greenish reflections and exceptional brilliance.
Nose
The aromatics are complex, elegant, and distinctly mineral.
In the foreground, notes of lemon, lime, white peach, pear, and ripe green apple intertwine. The aromatics are complemented by white flowers, acacia, and characteristic nuances of chalk, wet stone, and sea freshness.
As the wine opens, notes of almonds, hazelnuts, citrus peel, and subtle hints of brioche develop, creating additional depth.
The nose feels refined, multilayered, and very characteristic of a top Premier Cru Chablis.
Palate
A dry white wine of medium to full body with exceptional precision and energy.
The palate is dominated by notes of citrus, white peach, lime, and yellow apple. The mineral structure creates pronounced tension, while aging on the lees contributes additional texture and complexity.
The lively acidity gives the wine elegance and longevity, while the rich fruit core provides balance and breadth.
The wine impresses with remarkable harmony between concentration, minerality, and terroir expression.
Finish
Very long, clean, and distinctly mineral finish with notes of citrus, chalk, almonds, and subtle salinity.
The finish remains energetic, elegant, and almost endless.
