Note di degustazione
The very reticent nose combines an exotic soft citrus character with chalky crushed stone. Very dry and backward, even strict, with dried fruit, pineapple and hazelnut flavors complicated by a salty quality. Finishes with terrific thrust and power but needs time.

(Pillot used the 2014 Chevalier-Montrachet barrel for this wine, the first time he has made this cuvée without new oak): Bright pale yellow. Rather hermetic nose suggests full ripeness and an exotic hint of banana. A plush expression of this stony site, conveying compelling sweetness but almost Riesling-like definition and grip to the flavors of pineapple, fresh apricot, gunflint and rose petal. Finishes with outstanding slow-building length. This is 13.2% natural alcohol, from grapes picked on September 7.
