750ml
Reviews 94 points Wine Advocate "Soaring from the glass with notes of citrus fruit, pine nuts and green apple, with lots of structuring chalky extract and racy acids, it concludes with a long, searingly saline finish. This cuvee has inspired Aurelien Suenen to reconsider his approach with vintage-dated lieux-dits, possibly building them with a reserve wine component in future, to even out vintage variations. (KK)" 93 points John Gilman "The wine offers up a beautifully refined nose of golden delicious apple, pear, incipient notes of creme patissiere, chalky minerality, fresh almond, brioche and a delicate topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and youthful, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent mineral drive and grip, impeccable mousse and a long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. This is certainly approachable today, but still very much a young wine and I would not hesitate to tuck it away in the cellar for five to seven years before drinking it, just to allow it to completely blossom. It is a beautifully made wine with excellent potential. (JG)"
