Les Crayères Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru (d2023)

The wine's bouquet is not only generous but also beautifully complete and integral, making it a challenge to pinpoint specific descriptors. Nevertheless, I managed to discern some notable notes, including praline, honey, pastila, white bread, white currant, and white flowers.

Despite its inherent power, the wine retains an elegant and somewhat soft character with a pillow-like mousse. Its complexity is truly remarkable, offering multiple layers of flavor that delve deep into the palate. The balance is impeccable, and the aftertaste is exceptionally long and continues to evolve over time. Flavors reminiscent of bruised apples, baked apples with honey, apple candy, lemon candy, and a hint of Jerez grace the palate.

This wine is nothing short of incredible, and what's even more remarkable is that, despite its sophisticated nature, it remains approachable and irresistibly delicious.
