Tasting Notes
Medium greenish yellow, silver reflections. A bouquet much more strongly influenced by Semillon than Haut-Brion, a hint of pear and honeydew melon, reminiscent of white Hermitage, soft blossom honey, subtle hints of ripeness, candied grapefruit zest underneath. Juicy and round, yellow fruit nuances, pleasant acidity, chalky minerality on the finish, already developed.

Crisp, racy structure, lemony nuances, good minerality, lingers well, lively style with little hint of new wood, fine food companion, silky and full of understatement.
