Distinctive, with jasmine and elderflower notes leading off, followed by a racy set of white peach, white ginger and lemon shortbread notes. Feels pure and streamlined through the very long finish. A beautiful wine. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. (JM)

This is 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon. This is very different to the 2018 vintage which I tasted alongside, the aromatics here powerfully mineral, with crushed sandstone, salt and white pepper, iodine too, these elements quite prominent compared to the bitter citrus fruits. The palate is very fresh, svelte, with deliciously defined fruits, all yellow peach, mirabelle, with the same minerality and saline elements seen on the nose wrapped all around it, together with a quite vivacious acidity. Firm and charged at the finish, this has an admirable sense of drive and direction. This is so good – like a challenging Kimmeridgian Sancerre. Just adorable!

A linear and long Ygrec with sliced lemon, lemon sherbet and hints of lemon grass. Citrusy and flavorful. Finishes long and vertical. Very pretty and delicious. Very typical. Drink or hold.
