This is a perfumed wine, spicy and textured. It is off-dry which gives it a warm character, apples and white fruits over a rounded texture. It could age another few months and will be more balanced from 2016.

A wine that is mature already, this Grand Cru has some weight and richness. There is a perfumed character and flavors of white fruits. The wine has intense acidity that gives it a steely, tight character on the finish. Drink now.
