So pretty and full of character. Opens with aromas of violet and pencil shavings that are joyfully and immaculate. Following, the palate has vivid fruit. Real purity and balance. Beautiful cab franc Pepperiness but understated. Ripeness and balanced minerals, acid and paper thin tannins. To think how much has to come together, in the form of great terroir and the work of a great vigneron at the top or their game, for a wine to be so effortlessly delicious.

Gorgeous. Floral, huge fruit stank, so dazzling in its vividness. Fresh and vibrant. Light but intense. Serious structure. Very refined yet polished. Long and really amazing fruit.

2015. Exuberant aromatics of raspberry, black cherry, violets, tea smoke and hot stones. Presently coiled and screaming its youth while hinting at the songs to come.

Very young but I had to try one. Fresh raspberries. Still a bit on the green side.

Of course way too young, needed almost an hour of decanting to start shinning. But when it did, an incredible wine of finesse and concentration. Silky and harmonious.
