Reveals the estate's signature Burgundian approach with compelling mineral depth and citrus precision. Smoky pear and apricot aromatics lead to a palate of concentrated citrus fruits lifted by saline minerality. The texture is silky yet structured, with firm acidity providing excellent backbone. Shows impressive evolution potential with proper cellaring.
