Pale golden-green color. Considerable intensity on the nose. It has an exceptional full range of floral, exotic and citrus fruit aromas such as white blossoms, hawthorn, broom and white nettles and grapefruit. These notes are enhanced and strengthened by the mineral note of gunflint (flint stone heated by the sun). The flavor is pleasant and lively, tempered by a fruity roundness with notes of pear, green apples and citrus fruits, which boost the mineral and stony hardness of gunflint. The finish brings to mind a pleasant lemony freshness.
"Steely, struck-flint aromas over grassy, lemon-lime and gooseberry fruit. Crisp acid, medium+ body and good nervy intensity. Classic styling. Long finish.

"Mature hints of straw and grilled nuts give way to a creamy palate of citrus and gooseberry, followed by a graceful, stone-tinged finish. There's nice length to this white, which still has good zip. Drink now through 2011.–JM."
