- (these very old vines produced 38 hectoliters per hectare in 2005) Malic aroma of spiced apple. Then wonderfully tactile and sweet in the mouth, with an apricotty ripeness verging on exotic. And yet this conveys an impression of great solidity without any heaviness. This has 4.5 grams of acidity and 13.7% alcohol. Should be a knockout.

- Not surprisingly, this closely resembles the Perrières aromatically though there is just enough extra ripeness where hints of orchard fruit creep into the mix and continue onto the generous and sappy medium-full flavors that offer a beguiling texture and the same pungent minerality on the balanced and powerful finish. This really packs a punch as the intensity is almost painful and the underlying sense of tension and vibrancy is striking.
