Superb, with exotic aromas of tropical and citrus fruit, a mineral edge, and hints of smoke and spice. The texture is chiselled, with a fine balance between firm acidity and a ripe extract. The grapes are from a half-hectare plot exposed to the west, on rocky limestone scree. Winemaker Florent Rouve says that he picked late to avoid austerity, and it seems he chose a perfect moment. This wine is drinking well now, but ideally, one would wait two or three years and drink it over the next 10.
