Appearance: bright lemony yellow

Palate: somewhat medium and fresh with bright cut on the finish. concentrated citrus based fruits palate accompanied with mineral, chalk, and light smoke.
A beautiful Montee de Tonnerre with acidity playing as the key character. It may be accessible now but a few years of bottle age should do it well, I guess. An impressive bottle with energy and power but not overwhelming. Really good Summer sipping in fact. If you come across it, stock it up.
