The 2017 Filhot leaps from the glass with exotic notions of mango peel, pineapple upside-down cake and passion fruit with nuances of crème caramel and tangerine peel plus a fragrant floral waft in the background. Concentrated and complex, the multi-layered palate features a lively line of acidity offering compelling tension. It finishes long and earthy/minerally.

Very flattering, with ginger cream, orange curd and hazelnut notes infusing a core of creamed mango and papaya flavors. A light green tea streak keeps the finish just racy and fresh enough, though this sports the tropical profile of the vintage overall. Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.
