Lovely aromatic display, notes of green tea, quince and green apples, chalky elements and salty mineral notes. Dry and zesty but chalky too, the lemon and citrus acidity mingled with a crunchy aspect but also a powdery texture on the palate. Bright and crisp with a juicy, mouthwatering core and quite a lot of tension driving the flavours forward. Almost an element of spearmint freshness towards the finish alongside wet stones and a bitter toasted grapefruit touch. Lemon multi ways - sherbet, sorbet and meringue pie. Lovely full bodied flavours but really delicately bubbled. It’s zingy but not tart, giving mouthwatering vibrancy alongside tons of complexity and flavour. Incredibly easy to drink. No dosage but it’s not a rule. No malolactic fermentation either. The 2014 saw a sunny, warm and dry spring followed by a gloomy summer with warm, dry conditions for harvest on 18th September. From a little less than half a hectare on hillside slopes in Avize. 3.02pH. 8g/l tartaric acid. Production; 2,700 bottles, 250 magnums.
