January 15, 2024 - Robe d'un jaune or splendide.N'ayons pas peur des mots le bouquet est réellement sensationnel !!!!! D'intensité et de complexité:on passe tout à tour d'arômes de pêche,poire à des notes de noisette,de chèvrefeuille puis à des senteurs de massepain,de patisserie pour terminer sur des effluves de miel,d'acacia...C'est grandiose...La bouche 'est pas en reste et offre le même haut degré de qualité:attaque sérieuse,milieu sans la moindre faille et finale extravagante.La trame est magnifique et offre le même melting pot que le bouquet.Ce 80% M 20%R est magistral et représente le modèle absolu de l'appellation.Bravo au géniteur de cette bouteille la quintescence de ces nobles cépages !!! Fabuleuse bouteille...La bonne nouvelle il m'en reste encore.....

August 7, 2022 - My last and best of these, with a solid cork that came out easily. Sheer elegance, with an irresistible, velvety texture. A clean, creamy nose. Notes of marzipan, lemon oil and honeysuckle. A treat indeed.

December 28, 2021 - Brought to drink at Oinoscent
The wine shows bright golden color
The wine is spectacular in the nose, very ripe stone fruit, tropical fruit, elegant oak frame, spicy, ethereal, buttery and nutty
In the palate, the wine shows bright character, oily texture, nice acidity, still fresh, tropical fruit, some honey and light syrupy notes, glorious, mind-blowing, mineral, thinner oak frame here, never ending finish
Outstanding quality. Marsanne (with a touch of Roussanne probably) at its finest ? Why not ?
Fantastic wine with still a long time ahead -
