An absolute classic Clavoillon in this exceptional vintage. It’s gorgeous tonight, elegant, satiny and detailed with citrus, spice and vanilla inflicted aromatics and a polished, deep and refined palate with layered minerality and racy lemony acids. Last sips were the best.

Medium light lemon yellow , touch of green . Quite a lot of struck match , quite young and reductive on the nose . Some ripe lemon hints , smoky yellow fruits , peach , apricot and honeysuckle. On the palate this is quite intense and structured with the citrus and yellow fruits mixed with a chalky notes . This has good length and extract and refreshing acidity with creamy mouthfeel , after a while becoming even more mineral and fresh with an intense finish. Showing pretty young still , needs a bit of time to wake up but lots of potential . Even better in 5 years or so and will last well a further 5 - 10 .

Crisp, minerally, bright, flinty - comes from the oyster shells in the soil
