A naturally exotic nose offers up hints of freshly sliced ginger, jasmine tea, pear and plenty of floral elements. The more subtle and notably finer medium weight flavors exude a light minerality on the caressing and seductive finish that is lemony, bone-dry and sneaky long finale. This is compact and serious, and I would suggest allowing this a minimum of 5 years of cellaring first. - BH

The result is a bit closed initially, but with time the fruit begins to take shape - ripe pear, beeswax, mineral and marzipan. The texture is very subtle and elegant, retaining a surprising level of acidity that leads it to a lovely, lingering finish. Produced from a domaine-owned parcel of 0.16ha, the fruit is lightly crushed and pressed in a vertical press, prior to fermenting in cask (25% new) and ageing for 14 months. - DC

Fullish yellow, with a heady, honeyed richness. A little touch of bacon fat, more flesh in the mouth than I find ideal, then tightens up at the finish. Pears not peaches. Young vines here, the first to be picked, and they may have caught the sun just a fraction. - JM
