Platine (d10/2023)

Intense aromatics - yellow plums, lychee, vanilla, butter, spices, a flicker of cornichon. Fresh and a touch sharp on the palate, with a properly long finish and a dry cider-like register pulling through. Not about width or volume - the wine is built on precision rather than mass, with lime and chalk threading through the palate. Opens with air, becoming rounder and less sharp in body. Tight, mineral-driven Champagne in the precision register.
