96 / 100"Intense chardonnay with salty mineral, oyster shell, citrus, white flower and ginger the most prominent flavours in this taut, mouth-watering wine. Impressive purity, high energy and bright acidity with a lingering finish. It gives a nod in the direction of Chablis"

Tasting Notes
A surprisingly overt nose of citrus flowers, elderflower and crushed stone. The palate is, by contrast, dancing rather than shouting: white peach, citrus and florals that weave around a centre spine of acid with hints of brioche. No single part dominates, allowing the flavours to all have their spot in the limelight. The dance settles to a seamless saline and mineral finish, pure to the very end.
