Regular price $145.00 Save $-145.00“An overtly floral-suffused nose reflects notes of sea breeze, zest confit and a whiff of white pepper. There is notably better refinement if not necessarily better density to the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that possess even better depth on the lightly austere, structured and lingering finale. While it should repay a decade or so of keeping, it should also be reasonably approachable after only 4 to 5 years. 90-93 ♥ Outstanding” Burghound
“Lemon cake, white peach, apple and briny seashore aromas and flavors signal this generous white. Vibrant acidity and a stone note quickly intervene, and the finish reveals precision and fine length. Drink now through 2033. 96 cases imported. 93” WS
“Pale lemon with a fresh lime touch. Wood has been used on the Séchets component. This is lean and tight up front then much more body behind, plenty of flesh here without losing the essential stony qualities, and finishing dry, despite the weight of fruit. Drink from 2026-2032. 91-93” Jasper Morris, MW
