"This delicate white, displays notes of orchard blossom, candied lemon zest and tangerine, with a minerally subnote that builds toward the finish. Shows good concentration in a dry and elegant package, with a long, finely textured finish."

"Well-defined and balanced, this shows clean notes of star fruit, melon rind, smoke and orange peel, with a thread of mineral salinity. Structured without being overpowering, this is dry and tangy, and would be a fine match for light seafood."

"Yellow with a gold tinge. Very ripe yellow fruit aromas complicated by subtle gingery spices and flowers on the expressive nose. Complex and pure on the palate, with a tactile umami charater to the ginger and ripe peach flavors. Ripe acidity nicely frames the wine's dense, rich fruit. Very concentrated and long, finishing with a lightly tannic impression. Sweeter than the Calcaire bottling but a bit less intellectual than that wine."

"Straw-yellow. Bright aromas of smoked sausage, tropical fruit cocktail and cinnamon. Less massive than the Laurence but more elegant, offering flavors of honeyed apricot, cinnamon apple, smoky minerals and wet earth. Finishes smooth and long, with repeating notes of papaya and mango."

"Bright yellow-gold. Pink grapefruit, candied orange peel and smoked pork on the nose. Then rich and deep on the palate, with noteworthy lift and precision to the flavors of tropical fruits, minerals and flowers. Offers superb richness and depth, as well as enough acidity to give shape to the wine. Impressively balanced and very long."

"Bright yellow. Honeyed tropical fruit and spices aroma are followed on the palate by sweet (114 g/l residual sugar), very precise flavors of candied peach, mango and apricot. The wine's sound acidity (5.7 g/l) really extends the finish of this poised wine."
