Complex aromas of pear, white flowers, menthol, quinine and crushed stone; this could only be Chevalier-Montrachet. Big and rich but not particularly fruity and not at all exotic; this one too is on the starting block today. Hints of white flowers and menthol in the middle palate. Finishes chewy, rich, dry and very long.

- "A very ripe and densely fruited nose that is subtly exotic is trimmed in a discreet bit of pain grillé and introduces rich, powerful and wonderfully precise flavors that, like the Caillerets, are built on a firm base of minerality and the driving intensity of the finish both coats and stains the palate with seemingly endless reserves of dry extract. This too is a very impressive effort as it delivers the most length of any wine in the range...92-94." Burghound 7/07
