Salon 2012

Gorgeous aromas of cooked apple, bread dough and pie crust. Hints of lemon curd, flint and matchstick, too. Full-bodied and dense with agility and beauty, particularly on the mid-palate, which just lifts at the end. So much density and structure, yet it always remains floating and aerial. Phenolic and integrated on the finish. Impressive structure and length. Very drinkable now, but it gives the sensation that it will be better in three or four years.

Magnificent achievement, remarkable finesse, precise texture, the inimitable saline finish of the great sectors of Le Mesnil, and perfect dosage (5 grams).

A lovely freshness enlivens this wine, with a delicate grilled reduction and mineral depth that give fullness to the aromatic ensemble. The palette is precise and refined, still marked by youth. The wine is slender and racy, with a vibrant tension and a chalky feel that bring persistence. It has great ageing potential.

A delicate, mineral waltz of powdery chalky pebbles, oyster shell, and blooming lilac. Wild elegance on the palate that swiftly evolves into harmonious density, full of power and depth, with lingering notes of purple flowers and a finish of great softness.
