The first nose is deep and intensely fruity. Freshness and purity quickly give way to fine golden notes, like a pastry. The balance is evident. The Premier Cru terroir of Rilly la Montagne is well represented by the well-balanced limestone structure. A few notes of candied oranges precede a coated, and very long finish.
