A cool, pure and highly restrained nose requires ample agitation to coax the aromas of green apple, mineral reduction, citrus and acacia blossom. The middle weight flavors possess a similar texture to those of the Combettes but with even better delineation and, not surprisingly, markedly more stone influence on the focused, chiseled and built-to-age finale. I like the balance and this is pretty much textbook.

(from a "full normal crop" from very old vines, according to Elsa Matrot): Reduced aromas of peach and pineapple enlivened by calcaire energy. Very concentrated, youthful and balanced, boasting a lovely mineral/acid spine that's already in harmony with the wine's dense, sweet fruit. Finishes firm and lightly phenolic but not bitter, with excellent saline, iodiney grip and terrific subtle, sappy length. Delivers a lovely combination of power and elegance.
