Tasting Notes

A discreet but not invisible touch of wood sets off the notably more floral-suffused aromas of citrus confit, exotic tea, anise and white peach. The gorgeously textured large-scaled flavors possess outstanding cut and minerality that contrasts with the exceptionally dry, austere and massively long finish. This strikingly pure effort is packed with potential but note well that it's not likely to be a wine that permits early accessibility. In sum, this is a classic Chevalier in the making, but patience will absolutely be required. (Drink starting 2032)

From purchased fruit. Clear pale colour. Clean pure white fruit and flowers with a strong backbone. Not the flesh of the Bâtard of course. Fine and chiselled, with a stony touch and some wood at the back.
