Made with purchased fruit from a vineyard planted in 1953 in Saint-Bris, i.e. up in the northern reaches of Burgudy. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and old oak pièces. 11,5% alcohol.
Pale whitish-green color. Clean, somewhat restrained and slightly waxy nose with aromas of crunchy yellow apple, some chalky mineral notes, a little bit of fresh white fruit, light leesy notes of creaminess and perhaps a slightest hint of characterful funk. The wine is surprisingly broad and relatively full-bodied on the palate, given the cool and somewhat closed nose.
There are concentrated yet also very crisp and precise flavors of juicy white fruits, some tart green apple notes, a little bit of waxy funk, light leesy notes of creaminess, a hint of ripe citrus fruits and a touch of phenolic spice. The acid-driven finish is clean, lively and palate-cleansing with crisp and quite persistent flavors of tangy Granny Smith apple, some creamy notes, a little bit of waxy funk, light sweeter notes of ripe yellow fruits and a hint of zesty citrus fruit.
