Critics' Opinion: ST - 92/100, DC - 18/20, BH - 93/100, CT - 93/100
Appearance: Yellow straw.
Aroma: Reduced nose of white flower, stony fruits, nutty mineral, herbs, honey and lime.
Palate: Clean and pure with beautiful complexity and vibrancy. Soft citrus flavour and tropical fruits. Yet it also possesses feminine power and structure. Lovely acidity minerality.
Excellent white Burgundy with class. This premier cru by Anne Claude produced in biodynamic way. Upon popping up, it was still mute. But after almost an hour, beautiful perfume started showing up and revealing its class. Love the aroma of white flower and stony mineral there. This is superior and should age pretty nicely.
