Attractive and complex nose of salted almonds, apricots, figs,raspberries and white chocolate. Tangy green apples, too. Finebubbles here, with vibrant acidity and sleek, integrated layers.Dry and rich yet all in balance.

Light to medium yellow colour. Very rich and complex to sniff, with obvious barrel influence. The palate is intense and quite rich, full of flavour and yet the trademark Billecart delicacy and reserve are also present. The finish is very clean and dry. The wine is soft and nicely balanced except for the oak impact, which is debatable. I would prefer to see less of it. Still, an excellent wine in many ways.
