About the winery
Tasting Notes:
The color is slightly golden yellow. The nose of candy is an invitation to plunge back into childhood memories; At the aeration, one discovers a fine essence of green apple blending its acidulated perfume with the soft expression of caramel. The fruity notes flavor the taste buds with gourmet flavors of papaya and plum very ripe.
Ratings & Reviews:
92 Points - Wine Spectator:
"Polished and elegant, with a mix of Granny Smith apple, kumquat and verbena notes underscored by flinty minerality and salted butter. Shows snappy acidity that offsets the concentration, while smoke wafts through the lengthy finish. Drink now through 2032." - KB (web only 2023)
92 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2022 Le Haut-Lieu Sec is a lithe, reductive style with floral character and talcum powder. Full of phenolic, lip-smacking texture woven through its core, lending a sense of satisfying grunt to this dry yet balanced style. Clarity, precision and harmony are keywords in this wine's execution. A little more fleeting on the finish than ideal. (5.5g/L)" - Rebecca Gibb, MW (Oct 2023)
