Took another bottle of the 2012 vilmart blanches voies to see whether last week’s stellar showing was representative or not. In short, it was representative. Crackling with energy from the start. Clearly young and linear but it’s a great line of beautifully balanced and persistent sweet lemons. Superb bdb.

Precise palate feel with red fruit and hints of copper. Doesn’t have the depth of sweet red fruit yet that made the 04 such a joy to drink. Perhaps that will come through with more time?

Odd, slightly curdled nose with a smoky, sweet note very reminiscent of the 2018 mycorhize I tried recently. Is this a house style? Overshadowed a bit by the 2 prior wines.
