Tasting Notes At the barrel review, notably lactic and very gassy, with good richness and detail but a clipped finish; the assessment was explicitly preliminary.

2006 Technical Specifications
Region Genevrieres
Production Details The wine was still fermenting when reviewed, with a few grams of sugar remaining; Saouma reported using more lees stirring for this Genevrières. The sugar observation therefore does not represent finished-wine residual sugar.
Tasting Notes Musky and reduced, with lemon, lime, ginger, spices and nuts; intense, deep and sappy, with mineral grip, salinity, tension and a palate-dusting finish.

2005 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2012+
Region Genevrieres
Unfined Yes
Unfiltered Yes
Production Details The 2005 raw materials were reported at approximately 13.5% potential alcohol, not finished-wine alcohol. The whites underwent deliberately prolonged malolactic fermentation; the wines had not been racked or pumped and were intended for bottling without fining or filtration. Residual dissolved CO2 was expected, and decanting was recommended.
Tasting Notes Fresh and spicy, with hazelnut and lemony citrus; vibrant and powerful yet fine, with excellent volume and an intense, explosive finish.
