(based on a very old solera; two-thirds pinot noir and one-third chardonnay, from Bouzy): Bright gold. Intriguing aromas of pear, melon, peach pit, lees and smoky minerals. Silky orchard
fruit and blood orange flavors are lifted by tangy acidity and sharpened by notes
of jasmine and bitter lime zest. Dry, focused and very pure, finishing with impressive clarity and length.
Bright yellow with a steady bead. Mineral-driven aromas of pear, yellow plum and tangerine, accented by smoky lees. Rich but energetic, offering lively citrus and peach flavors and bracing minerality on the back. The finish clings with good sappy persistence. This is made from all grand cru Bouzy fruit.
