“Pale yellow; based on color alone this seems riper than the Bienvenues, which is from an adjacent parcel. Aromas of peach, white flowers and linden tea, plus a hint of honey. Then rich, ripe and opulent in the mouth, boasting a much more silky texture, and greater power, than the Bienvenues (there’s less topsoil here). Shows the sugar/acid balance of a perfectly ripe peach. Flavors of pear and tilleul contribute complexity to this succulent and fleshy wine.”
