July 17, 2023 - Still lovely, though it no longer reminds me of a Burgundy. At this age (or this bottle, this evening) the citrus/orange flavours are to the fore, with little or none of the creaminess I thought I detected previously. There is a richness to the fruit though - is that it? Not an easy wine to pin down, but a very easy one to enjoy. Cork, 14%.

January 16, 2022 - Notes very much as before. If anything I'm impressed just a touch more.

February 2, 2021 - Tasting notes very much as before. This really is very impressive, without being overweening. If, like me, you get frustrated by expensive and unreliable white Burgundies, this could provide a very satisfying alternative.

December 22, 2020 - Light gold. Attractive stone fruit aromas - apricots and nectarines, I think. On the palate, initially fresh and citrussy (orange?) then opening out wonderfully into a full-bodied, creamy-textured vinous white. This strikes me as an extremely elegant and sophisticated wine, transcending my expectations of the Clairette grape. (Which is 80% of the blend, Viognier being the remaining 20%.) 14%, cork.
