Blend of 60% Chenin Blanc, 20% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir & 5% Cabernet Franc. The attractive, medium+ intensity nose has lemon citrus, pear, and peach aromas nuanced with brioche, autolytic & toasty characters. It's medium-full bodied with some sweetness on the palate with honeyed flavours of ripe pear, peach, lemon citrus, plus some toasty, brioche, and hazelnut notes adding a savoury component. It has a crisp mouthfeel with a fine mousse & fresh acidity. More savoury with leesy mineral notes and hints citrus lingering on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Sept. 2023. Score: 88+ pts
