Showing lovely lemony freshness together with honeyed, ripe peachy fruit and super complexity. Very long and balanced this is a great success. The property is owned by a group including Stefan von Neipperg from Canon la Gaffelière.

Over 100 hectares of vineyards are owned by a group, including Stephan von Neipperg of Canon la Gaffelière and Olivier Bernard of Domaine de Chevalier, which took over in 2006 from Hamilton Narby who had undertaken a great deal of investment at the property. The money mainly came from Robert Peugeot of the car makers Peugeot. The estate was managed by Xavier Planty during the Narby years and is still under his management. Rich, concentrated wines with plenty of botrytis are made and they also make an excellent dry white mainly from Sauvignon Blanc.

A stunning wine, probably the best of the 2005 vintage after d'Yquem. Lovely botrytis...
