"Jacky Blot makes this wine from his old-vine fruit that’s not ripe enough to produce his Triple Zéro (recommended above). The rigorous selection of clean grapes and the winemaking process is similar, though this wine rests en tirage for 14 months, and is finished with a minimal dosage (usually about three grams). It has the same pale-limestone direction as Triple Zéro, with honeyed quince scents to fill it out, giving the wine a juicy feel. Refreshing and flavorful, this has a sense of purity that lasts."
91 points Vinous
“Aromas of pineapple, lemon meringue, and chalk. Super zesty throughout, lime peel, lemon curd, candied lime, with an underlying steely minerality, and a creamy finish. A Méthode Traditionnelle made from 40-year-old Chenin vines.”
Vinous Reverie Notes
Tasting Notes: Pears, almonds and jasmine are some of the notes that flesh out in this pure, energetic wine. Bright citrus zest and quince flavors give way to richer melon and pit fruits, while maintaining impressive verve and cut
