Still very much in the whiter fruit spectrum, with travertine, chalk, white melon rind, crunchy pear, green apple skin and flesh, white stone fruit, petrol, and lemon pith. Still tight and a bit…
Wonderfully fresh and stylish (the cork was pristine), the 1996 Clos St. Hune is an absolute knockout of a wine. With beautifully resolved flavors of honeyed lime, dehydrated lemon slice, grilled…
Pears and petrol. What more could you ask for?! Lime and lemon pith, yellow and green apple skin, and travertine add interest. A little angular on the finish, but otherwise a fun sipper.
On day one, this was pretty torqued up and launching all sorts of wet limestone and chalk. Petrol and salt follow, with a hyper chiseled profile that demands a generation in the cellar. Linear,…

Grilled pineapple and lemon, toasted pine nuts, wet limestone, olive and hazelnut oil, yellow pear skin, dried apricot, lamp oil, pumice, and traces of plantain. A wine that successfully straddles…

Light salmon pink color. Muted nose of chalk and CO2. Light and dry, with notes of watery strawberry, watermelon, green apple flesh, quince, and white chalk. Fairly pithy, with a weak fruit core that…
