August 5, 2021 - Nose gave off a bit of melon rind, but musty nose and very clipped palate (yet not oxidized) gave this away clearly, and sadly, as corked.

May 9, 2020 - an amazing treat - seems to be at its perfect place. perfumed and still an excellent lightness. a little evolved.

May 9, 2020 - During a Zoom blind tasting. Wonderfully fresh nose with apple, grassy elements, mineralic elements, some flowers. Crisp palate, a pleasure to drink. Great showing.

March 4, 2019 - Je savais que c'était du Sauvignon Blanc mais très dûr à sizer.
Je croyais à une bouteille bien plus jeune.Une jeunesse insolente.
Acidité tranchante.Sur les fruits de la passion.Droit.
Meilleur tempéré.Il survivra encore 15 ans !!
