I have always enjoyed their cuvées. First time having the Quintette.

The entry is elegant…beautiful fine mousse. Green apples, lime w/ just a touch of zest, lemon pulp, some kiwi & green melon, yellow pear w/ no skin, topical melon, notes of melted caramel, well cooked bread crust, a hint gingerbread, graham crackers, sea spray, understated sea fossils, elegant chalkiness, grey volcanics, dry river stone, yellow & white flowers with fruit blossoms, excellent acidity with soft, gentle structure/tension, elegant finish for that lasts 90 seconds and falls on gentle spice & volcanics.

Quite light golden yellow colour . Quite deep yellow fruits , touches of pastry , roasted nuts . Very complex needs a bit of time to open. On the palate pretty big , yellow fruits again , with that pastry element . Long and elegant acidity, with mineral , saline finish . Now and for the next 5- 7 years . — 4 years ago
