shiny yellow; the nose is elegant, has good filling, precise ripeness of pear, a hint of apricot, greengage plum, table wax. The palate is joli, its attack successful via stylish richness. It has rather fragrant length, is buttery, is low acidity, but, above all, is rich, which makes it. Its a question of richness, not sucrosity. I am concerned by its low acidity, Jean-Claude Marsanne. 13.5. To 2026 May 2023
