The freshness and brilliance of the wine is almost Riesling like, but this aspect of the wine hasn’t been won at the cost of textural richness or ripe aromas (melon, floral honey and blossoms). This is a seriously concentrated wine, but you’d never guess that it had 15% alcohol because of its super-elegant acidity. The silky finish is very long and perfectly balanced.
Very young pale green colour with complementary straw yellow hints, star-bright and crystal-clear, clinging softly to the glass. The bouquet is immediately seductive, open and harmonious, so uncommonly expressive that it awakens the senses and the palate.
It is agreeably fruit-driven: very ripe yellow fruit, apricot, Golden Delicious apple, greengage, acacia honey, fresh brioche and liquorice, with that light, slightly smoky, flinty touch that authenticates an excellent, ripe Pinot Gris, without any botrytis. The same harmony and balance can be found on the palate, which is soft and tender, with excellent structure, smooth and charming, giving a very tasty, dry finish that is refined and generous.
