In their 2014 edition, Guide Hachette awarded this wine their highest honour, a perfect 3 stars out of 3, which signifies an Exceptional Wine. TASTING NOTE: A complex and intense nose of bread, brioche, apple and lemon showing long lees aging. The wine is light bodied and racy with lots of intense oyster shell, nectarine and minerality along with some creamy, toasty autolysis notes, all with a very long, seamless finish. Score - 91 (Rhys Pender, MW, winealign.com, Sept. 20, 2014) |
