Light golden colour. The wonderful bouquet flows from the glass right away: orange peel, ripe pineapple, floral notes of white flowers, as well as ripe aromas of dried apricots and honey, with a hint of yeast. The nose nevertheless remains cool and mineral. I like the wine very much and it doesn't seem old at all - on the contrary. The very good impression is confirmed on the palate. The fruit is polished, the acidity taut, the body lean. Juicy lemon, green apple, some grapefruit. Citrusy and fresh. Decent grip and good length, again with apple and some grapefruit.
Drink through 2031.

10Wines with a DM9 to DM12 rating are very good wines, above average even in the world of fine wine. That means these wines have been produced really well. They are pure, balanced, and have no flaw whatsoever. They begin to show complexity. Moreover, these wines have their own character and transport typicity and terroir. / 20 ("very good") |
