Tasting notes
FINE+RARE, Apr 2019

Great aromatic focus and complexity - honey blossom, acacia, honeycomb, light peppery spice, ginger and earthy mineral clay. The palate has a wonderful textural finesse with pink apple, mango, citrus oil and dried candy flavours, beautifully balanced with a refreshing acidity and lovely energised vinosity. This has all the taut precision you would expect from 2014 with a beautiful counterpoint of ripe, juicy, opulent fruit typical of the Thévenet cellar. Incredible wine for the money!
