Tasting
Eyes
Pale gold colour with crystalline highlights.
Nose
Freshness and minerality typical of our great Chardonnays from this cold vintage. With finesse, the fresh citrus fruit responds to hints of dried apricot and brioche, lightly toasted aromas. The precise, chiselled finish is accompanied by more saline and iodised notes.
Palate
The clean, mineral attack reveals all the brilliance of this vintage, whose lemony, zesty character underpins an infinite length on the palate. Spicy accents of white pepper and saffron give way to a more saline finish, so characteristic of Rothschild Rare Collection vintages.
