Classic. Nice bottle development. Sweet impression, viscous but snappy. Tropical fruit, lime zest, mineral. Some Botrytis. Singular.

The Chevalier Blanc from @domainedechevalier was the favorite of the group, a brilliant wine with a long life ahead of it, showing excellent notes of citrus and orchard fruits, loads of mineral and an essence of place. Perfectly balanced, a complete and whole wine that should age superbly for 30+ years.

Sadly this was oxidised and gets no rating. I have read favourable notes from other tasters so I might have been unlucky with this bottle.
