Made from "high quality parcels recently replanted on the terroir of Pape Clement", this wine provides an early, cheaper, but only partial taste of the real thing. The famous minerality is noticeably and pleasantly present, but the fruit, no doubt because of the tender age of the vines, if not altogether missing, seems held back, like a high powered motor car stuck in 2nd gear. Refreshingly, it weighs in at only 12.5% alcohol, encouraging that extra glass. |
