Drinking Window: 2024 - 2030
High acidity and fresh lemon, lime and orange on the palate. Sharp and sour, quite high toned and bright straight away with a sleek tone keeping this razor-like and on edge. Needs to settle a bit but there's an appealing citrus fruit intensity and some enjoyable mineral aspects on the finish. The high acidity is a bit off putting but it does settle with some bitter notes on the finish. Rolland & Associés consultants.

Bright and sharp, filling, but remains lean. Good intensity of flavour but keeps the sleekness and strictness meaning you don't get so much generosity and length but there is good acidity and citrus fruit elements. A yield of 40hl/ha.
