"(vinified in wood for the first time, including a bit of new oak): Good bright, pale yellow with green highlights. Aromas of white and yellow peach, wet stone, smoky minerals and vanilla. Comes across as less obviously oaky than the Blanchots Vieilles Vignes, showing a distinctly brisk and penetrating character to its peach and caramel flavors. This youthfully imploded wine boasts very good cut but today the bright acidity has not yet harmonized with the wood component."
