Limpid straw-yellow. Penetrating, aromas of ripe citrus and pit fruits, violet and honey are complicated by chalky mineral and ginger nuances. Juicy and deeply concentrated on the palate, offering expansive peach nectar, Meyer lemon and floral flavors that show outstanding clarity. The mineral and floral notes carry emphatically through the strikingly long, seamless finish, which hangs on with outstanding focus and tenacity.
Paradoxically, the 2016 Chateau Grillet seems more developed and yet fresher than the 2017. Caramel overtones frame notes of apricot and peach on the full-bodied, silky-textured palate, hung on a backbone of brine and citrus zest. Less opulent and flamboyant than the 2017, it could be described as more classic, and it will probably age a bit longer.
