Appearance: Yellow 
straw.
Aroma: 
Reduced nose of white flower, stony fruits, nutty mineral, herbs, honey and 
lime.
Palate: Clean and pure 
with beautiful complexity and vibrancy. Soft citrus flavour and tropical fruits. 
Yet it also possesses feminine power and structure. Lovely acidity 
minerality.
Excellent white Burgundy with class. This premier cru by 
Anne Claude produced in biodynamic way. Upon popping up, it was still mute. But 
after almost an hour, beautiful perfume started showing up and revealing its 
class. Love the aroma of white flower and stony mineral there. This is superior 
and should age pretty nicely.
