Hazelnut, orange rind and wild peach emerge from an initially closed nose, building to reveal vanilla pod and almond complexity. The texture is creamy yet vibrant, with melted wax richness balanced by bright acidity. Reynaud's artistry shows in every layer - this captivating white Châteauneuf-du-Pape drinks beautifully now but will reward patience.
