BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Gold lights. Citrus and orchard spectrum of fruits, which impress on the nose; delicate, fine mousse; lemony aromas and flavors, both fresh and confit; maturity with energy. Balance. | 92

Simon Field: Bright lemon-gold color, gentle and delicate bead. Very pure aromas, citrus fruit, brioche, and peaches, finely knit acidity and a ludic, persuasive finish. | 91

Anne Krebiechl: Golden color. A touch of toast and honey on the nose promises depth and richness. On the palate, the honey notes exert an almost earthy richness, suggesting wet chalk, stone, and depth. A hint of flint sounds a slight note of reduction. The palate itself is taut, brisk, and fresh, with an echo of sea and ozone, of purest freshness and stony eternity. Moreish, with refreshing length. | 94
