Stinks like Alsatian Riesling in the best way with lovely fragrance and evident power

Valentin Morel, Bois D'Arnaux Ouille 'Savagnin' 2020 Chillable Tastes kind of like FivePlace: Jura, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: Delightful A personal favourite vineyard, this time without maceration. Grey and blue marls atop some serious limestone. Chalky and lactic on the nose, before a crisp, orchard led palate. I cant quite put my finger on what makes my pulse race so much about Valentins work. Rock solid and incredibly stable too, I tasted on day 4, and it was superb. Watching this evolve over a few days should be a real treat.
