Hide bottles for 4-5 years (it will be interesting to see if this shuts down)

This is aromatically quite similar to the grand vin but not quite as perfumed and complex

(from 70+ year old vines on original chardonnay plant material - Amiot calls this le vrai chardonnay or the true chardonnay)

Spicy with a pleasantly herbal tinge

firm tannin that provide a rigid backbone

Simon Colin other_regions_australia Hide bottles for 4-5 years(from 2 parcels in Les Vergers proper and another in Pasquelles). This is also discreetly wooded with an aromatic profile of white orchard fruit, zest, especially orange peel, and a touch of mineral reduction. The lilting but almost painfully intense flavors possess a gorgeous texture while delivering even better length on the very dry, balanced and coiled finale. This is excellent.
