Subtle oaking adds a little weight over the non oaked version. Well judged and adds some wonderful texture to the palate as well. Fresh and rich with brilliant drive to the melon and ripe lemmon character and then that subtle dusting of the oak influence really finishes the wine in style - sophisticated for its price. I would choose this over all other options I have tried at this Wine Paris 2023 tasting.

Inviting aromas of green rockmelon, lemon zest and apricot on the nose with a hint of oatmeal. The palate offers lovely combination of silky texture and bright acidity, leading to a smooth rounded finish. Modern and beautifully balanced, making it delightfully appealing. At its best: now to 2027.
