Ripe pear and citrus blossom aromatics lead to a taut, mineral-driven palate with impressive concentration. The clay-flint terroir shows clearly in the wine's stony backbone and electric acidity. Tropical pineapple notes add richness to the finish without compromising the Loire's characteristic precision. Drinking well now with room to develop.
