  December 16, 2023 - Tightly wound and backward at first, and a bit too cool when served, however over the course of a couple of hours, the temperature rose, while the air helped enormously. What seemed a bit tannic, angular and astringent, opened up to a generous, pretty tropical fruit palette. The nose developed rich, floral notes of gardenias and honeysuckle. This is going to be a great wine, that can be drunk now, but should reward patience, as well.

  June 24, 2023 - Dégusté avec Dominique
  vin d'une grande expression, tout en subtilité.
  Nez envoutant, sur la pêche blanche, vanille, citronelle.
  En bouche, ressortent fleur de coton, l'ananas, brioche, buxus, cyprine ;-)
  Sublime

  June 9, 2023 - Surprisingly young! Pale colour. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Distinct varietal characters – fresh gooseberry, grapefruit, pear, lemongrass, stoney minerals, sweet vanilla, and toasty oak. With time it gains weights exhibiting creamy and very slightly honey grilled nuts. Charming.

  May 17, 2022 - 100% Sauvignon Blanc
  
  Pale straw color, clear, youthful, compact rim
  
  Nose screams Bordeaux Blanc typicity with grapefruit, honeycomb, new cedar woods
  
  Palate is layered. Medium body, almost bone dry, medium plus acidity. Lots of citrus fruits, Asian pear, tangerine, pineapple, quite high toned at first but blown away with air. Finish on the honey coated slightly bitter grapefruit notes.
  
  Subdued as it was tasted alongside the mind blowing Henri Giraud Argonne but it did show a lot of Bordeaux Blanc characters. However, at this price point, so many other better option. Drink now. 91 (but 87 for qpr).

  March 3, 2019 - Citrus aroma and Lemongrass on the nose, yellow flowers
  Mildly creamy, with tanginess on the palate, zingy with minerality, quite precise; palate then mellows down and becomes more rich, peach like almost and a tad of sweetness.
