A blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon. 13.5% ABV. Medium yellow golden colour. Lemon curd, apricot, honeydew melon, light herbal and light grassy notes, lanolin, some oak spice, and gravelly minerality, with good acidity and very good persistence. Medium-bodied and well-balanced, with well-integrated oak, and a great, smooth and waxy texture. Benefited from aeration in a small decanter, and paired well with our salmon dish. Equally enjoyable (if with more pronounced oak) on day two. In a good place!

L’acidité s’est atténuée par rapport à la dernière fois qu’on l’a bu il y a 7 ans. Ça demeure légèrement tendu en finale, mais les arômes d’agrumes sont plus discrets, en arrière-plan, et le vin est davantage équilibré. Sera intéressant à suivre dans un autre 5 à 7 ans pour que se développe les arômes plus complexes du Sauvignon et du Sémillon.

At DT's. Good colour and legs. Almost like a Chardonnay initially with that richness and traces of oak(?). Developed a lovely smokiness with air. Very good if a little pricey.
