(frost losses in the estate's vines above Le Cailleret were down 30% in 2016): The freshest nose of these 2016s, offering scents of stone fruits, nutmeats and minerals. Thick and ripe on the palate but sappy too, with its apple and citrus flavors given definition and drive by salty minerality. Finishes saline, energetic and long, with a strong floral quality and no rough edges. This is superb.
