A ripe and expressive nose of white peach, spiced pear and lemon rind merges into earthy, frank and intense medium-full flavors blessed with ample amounts of mouth coating dry extract that culminate in a powerful yet focused finish of better than average depth and length. Pretty and more elegant than usual and while it's not a wine of finesse, neither is it a rustic Morgeot either. Worth a look.

This is one of Olivier Leflaive’s benchmark wines, showing how his winemaker Franck Grux keeps lightness, freshness and complexity all in play. To start, it is firm and austere, then it bursts out with green fruits, toast, white currants and lemon, integrated and balanced. Drink now, or age for 2–3 years.
