La Soufrandiere Macon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Pere 2020

Delicate aromatics, not so much closed but hinting. Cool, herbal notes with lemon, preserved lime, grapefruit, white peach and nectarine. Super energy, not surging, but rather like a dancer, each step revealing something new. Chiseled and compact, this has so much more to offer if you can be patient. Mandarin, sage, lemon oil, green mango, orange blossom and zest, and not just the taste, but the textures too. Almost whimsical as flavours are teased, peeled from the whole. Intense, pure and tensile, the palate is very long and elegant, yet showing great strength. Salty notes absorb the finish, all indicating a very long life ahead. Waters Wine Co

A mild touch of reduction shaves the top notes and blurs the nuance of the ripe white orchard fruit scented nose. The racy and almost painfully intense middle weight flavors are not nearly as dense but there is good minerality on the refreshing and chiseled finish that also reflects a touch of bitter citrus zest. 88-90 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound
