Bright, fresh, green-tinged yellow. Aromas of yellow peach, mint, menthol and white pepper. This is from a higher-altitude site in a hot spot on well-drained iron-rich limestone soil and always shows high maturity, notes technical director Jérôme Flous. At once penetrating and chewy, showing excellent lemony cut as well as a medicinal nuance to its very primary flavors of yellow grapefruit and white pepper. Conveys a strong impression of acidity but also an element of sweetness from the mature fruit. The long, vibrant finish shows a lovely mix of salty and sweet elements, which Flous says is typical of the 2017 vintage. But this is still tightly wound, as it was among the last wines here to finish its secondary fermentation.
