Hammel – L’Ovaille 1er Grand Cru 2011 – Yvorne

Bright, with a light golden nuance. Pure nose with good intensity, showing off ripe citrus, some notes of apricot, ripe apple, some wild herbs. Medium weight on the palate, quite grippy, with that sensation almost of skin contact. Fine tannin. Bitter citrus that’s tantalizing on the palate, adding freshness. Quite sweet fruit, alcohol well in place. The fruit keeps lingering. Pure, fresh, and delicate style, with a fine persistence, good finish and purity.

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
