  July 29, 2012 - Served last night at the Society of Bacchus Michel Rolland tasting. No formal notes. This was a refreshing, bright, tasty Bordeaux Blanc. Both the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc varietal characters were in evidence. Significant new oak. Full disclosure: My wife didn't much like it; it wasn't cool enough for her.

  October 26, 2006 - A trip to Bordeaux's Right Bank (Very long); 10/22/2006-10/30/2006 (Bordeaux, France): A surprising white from Michel Rolland. Allegedly the only white wine produced in Pomerol. A surprising mix of 30% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Gris, 25% Semillon and 15% Muscadelle. Vinified entirely in a 225 liter barrique made with 100% new oak. Very tropical nose of pineapple. In the mouth it shows a surprising acidity and citrusy flavor that does not correspond to the aromatic impression. Medium to full bodied and a very interesting slightly tart finish.
