". . . a delicate flowery bouquet that hints at more Chardonnay than is actually the case. A fresh, fruity flavor, rich in nuances, with a stifled, underlying power that reveals its origin in the end. Creamy and beautifully elusive in the magnum, with extreme depth. Since the autumn of 2003, more gamy and mushroomy. Now very elegant."
