Ian d’Agata

Bright straw. Floral nuances complement gooseberry, peach nectar, lemon verbena and mineral aromas on the slow-to-open nose. Rich, bright flavors of guava, green banana and rosemary are lifted by a laser beam of acidity and complicated by hints of underripe passion fruit and pear. Finishes chewy and long, with a strong impression of extract. This very pure, linear wine should age splendidly for decades, gaining in flesh and volume, but it`s impeccably balanced and remarkably drinkable right now. 94+ points

“Super” is how Rémi Edange rates his own wine and it’s hard to disagree. This lees-aged, barrel fermented white blend is a stunner. citrus fresh, yet with a layer of exotic, almost peachy fruit, subtle oak, a hint of reduction and a bright, grapefruity finish. The sort of wine I’d love to have in my own cellar to revisit over the next decade. 5+ years. 95 points
