Mid yellow in colour. Richer in bouquet than Poruzots but not finer. A lemony tingle at the finish alongside robust oak. Some sensuality but less delicacy overall. Patisserie such as baba au rhum, or rum and raisin ice cream – a sign of Goutte d’Or for Henri.

(from a holding of about .17 ha where the vines run from the top to the bottom of the vineyard). A more elegant and equally cool nose freely offers up its essence of pear aromas cut with white peach, rose petal and a hint of anise. The refined, intense and bigger-bodied flavors possess a generous mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm acid spine shaping the superbly long finale. This is terrific and warmly recommended.
