The 2020 Confidence is laced with jasmine, passionfruit, mint and green apple, plus exotic floral accents that lend intrigue. This refreshing, finely cut white has quite a bit to offer.

The 2020 Confidence from Bastor-Lamontagne presents a crisp, fresh apple orchard and pear nose that has a real spring in its step. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, pear and light grapefruit notes on the entry and a slight bitter lemon note toward the finish. Drink this over the next 3–4 years.

Fruits noirs, pointe de réglisse et d'épices. Juteux et savoureux, de beaux tanins avec de la fraicheur et un milieu de bouche agréable. Belle tension. Une belle bouteille en devenir.

This is beautiful with form and focus. Blackberry, blackcurrant, spice and bark character. It’s medium-bodied with polished tannins that are fine-textured.
