The nose unfolds deliberately, revealing apple, pear, and peach character enriched by notes of beeswax and lanolin. This displays structural parallels to young Vouvray, expressing pronounced minerality that frames the orchard fruit core. The palate shows solid textural weight alongside vibrant acidity that defines the finish. Aeration introduces notable sweetness to the composition. This requires either extended cellaring or substantial decanting to fully integrate its components.
