Gerald Besse Petite Arvine Martigny – 2016

“Gérald Besse’s 2016 Petite Arvine has a bright citrus color and opens with a bright yet still reductive bouquet of white fruits with burnt rubber aromas. On the palate, this is a very aromatic, fresh and elegant Petite Arivine in a modern, fruit-driven style. The finish, however, is salty and has stunning purity and length, revealing the true soul of the wine. Still very young, with pineapple flavors on the aftertaste, the 2016 will age very, very well over the next few decades. Tasted in a Petite Arvine blind tasting in Saint-Léonard in Valais, November 2017.”
