“High-pitched aromas of pear, lime, crushed stone and lavender. Intensely flavored but airy and light on its feet, with firm limey acidity (4.4 grams per liter) cutting the wine's flesh. Finishes tight and long, with rising floral perfume.”

“Deeper-pitched on the nose than the Bienvenue, offering musky, slightly reduced scents of very ripe peach and grilled nuts. Sweet, large-scaled and powerful but youthfully laid-back today. More tannic than the Bienvenue but the firm finishing…”

“Bright yellow. Musky yellow peach, grilled nuts and flinty minerality on the nose. Plush, silky and rich; in fact, downright voluptuous for the year, but with terrific mineral energy to its ripe stone fruit flavors. Finishes tactile and long…”

“Pale, bright yellow. Musky peach and clove on the nose. Round and sedate on the palate, with peachy fruit salad flavors nicely framed by ripe acidity. Not a particularly big or fleshy wine but boasts a firm mineral underpinning.”

“Lovely perfume of lime blossom, white peach and noble herbs. Captivating sucrosité on the attack, then juicy and floral in the mid-palate, showing a cooler fruit quality than the Clavoillon. Vibrant, sharply delineated premier cru…”

“Light yellow. Deeply pitched, slightly reduced aromas of stone fruits and rock. Bigger and richer in the mouth than the Folatières but less floral, with stone fruit and honey notes dominating. Plenty of energy here but this is very reserved today.”

“Bright, pale yellow. Expressive, highly nuanced nose combines stone fruits, lime blossom, white pepper, honey and crushed stone. Sweet, plush and silky; more glyceral than the Pucelles and showing a rare sucrosité for this grand cru in the early…”

“Deeply pitched, slightly reduced aromas of stone fruits, pineapple and honey. Fatter and sweeter than the Bienvenue, then broader and more powerful on the back half, showing a ripe pineapple character but coming across as bone-dry.”

“Bright, light yellow. Reticent reduced nose opens slowly with air to offer scents of soft citrus fruits, lime oil, clove and white flowers….But still dry and classic, even tight, in the mid-palate, with a strong menthol character keeping the fruit under wraps.
