Tasting notes
20% new oak, one year in barrel, six months in inox. Lightly smoky and mineral on the nose. Reductive mineral tension on the palate but not at all lean. Amazing citrus, grapefruit freshness. Intense and so well defined, with electric tension. Lean but not mean. (JH)

More reviews and scores
Aromas of peach skin, smoke and stone. Fairly dense and powerful, with an impression of strong acidity keeping the fruit under wraps. A bit of a monolith today, but with excellent potential. This north-facing site is less sensitive to botrytis, and the 2008 has a low pH of 3.11, according to Roulot.
