Pale straw-green. Bright aromas of grapefruit, orange blossom, mint and spicy herbs. Juicy and fresh, offering crisp green and white stone fruit flavors lifted by hints of orange peel and lavender. Finishes long and with a slight sweetness (at about 4 g/L residual sugar). Plenty of structure this year (thanks to the Muscat d'Alsace) and perhaps less perfumed than usual, but I quite liked this lovely, juicy Muscat. About 14,000 bottles made.

Sleek acidity sculpts this well-meshed white, which offers a minerally underpinning and flavors of crunchy white peach, mandarin orange peel, fresh herbs and spice, set on a light-bodied frame.
