Crystalline minerality drives this elegant expression from Clos du Papillon. Chamomile, quince and wet stone weave through layers of lemon oil and crushed herbs. The palate shows remarkable tension. Piercing acidity balanced by subtle richness. Saline notes and white pepper extend the finish with impressive persistence.
