Allen Meadows - Score: 90-92 (2017 January)

Here the expressive and agreeably fresh nose is compositionally similar to that of the Chaignots but with a bit more elegance thanks to the more pronounced floral character. In the same fashion there is more minerality present on the sleek, vibrant and well-detailed flavors that possess a distinctly different texture on the focused, indeed even linear finish that is firmer still. At least some patience required. In a word, lovely.
