Estimate
...sense of volume but not weight, filling the mouth with depths of pure fruit before the acid pours forth like a canal lock being opened...hint of spice and crème caramel alongside apple and florals.
...concentrated, deep and still somewhat untamed on the clear, fresh and lemon-fruity yet darker-toned nose compared to the Haut-Lieu. Round and refined yet still with a pretty firm tannin structure, this is a rich and powerful yet elegant and persistently salty Chenin with tension, grip and a sustainable, highly promising finish.
This alluring white imparts both elegance and drive, with ginger, quince and marzipan notes edged with heather, mineral and peach accents. Lovely, with good tension.
