Avis professionnels

BOW (8)

Richard Kelley MW: Polished. Yellow-green. Mid-depth. Atypical nose, with almost a stony-mineral character not unlike an old Chablis.

The nose is pretty closed and not very expressive. The palate shows to be more open and accessible.

This is attractive and a fresher style, if a little simple. The wine builds nicely with good levels of concentration to the finish.

This is a bit of a surprise for what is considered a low to mid-quality vintage. Approachable now.

If allowed to age, it could possible evolve further but certainly on a mid-life plateau now.
