Tasting Notes

Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 21 Nov 19
Fermented in 350-litre oak. Barrel sample. More mealy and leesy on the nose compared with the Chenevottes. A wine I would like to fall into. Power and drive here, with less flesh on the palate than the creamy nose predicted, a little more severe on the palate, the acidity very crisp and the fruit weight only just up to it. But should age well. Amazing length. (JH)
