Sweet spot Outstanding
Producer note: Jean-Marc Roulot has begun a small négociant operation where he will make small purchases exclusively in the form of fruit rather than must. Please see directly above for his thoughts on the 2016 vintage.
Tasting note: A softly exotic nose is at once quite spicy and elegant with its jasmine tea, white orchard fruit and plenitude of floral and citrus elements where the latter is picked up by the elegant, precise and almost delicate flavors that exude a fine minerality on the lingering, balanced and firmly structured finale. Lovely juice and potential.
