The Pousse d’Or white 2006 Santenay Les Gravieres (tasted assembled from tank, just prior to bottling) smells of baked apple, grilled pineapple, blood orange, toasted almond, and vanilla. Plush, juicy and mouth-filling in its generosity, this is an example of its appellation that sublimates its chalky mineral side. Bitter-sweet citrus zest and vanilla add interest to a long luscious finish. It ought to be lovely to follow for at least 4-5 years.
