June 25, 2023 - La Cave does a fantastic description and review of this wine. I agree with the score and it offers an excellent value east of the Gironde. I absolutely love Semillion .. and it contributes substationally to this bottling. I find the clementines ginger lemon all to have an attractive dose of caramelization adding to the complexity. Maybe not aged in small barrique but possibly some large neutral staves to round the wine. I’m glad I found this … Thanks La Cave !

April 12, 2023 - Very pale straw... almost white. On the nose, I get green pepper, stone, herbaceous and grassy. Something a little funky, like old hard boiled egg. On the palate, it's minerally and acidic. Medium bodied, with a finish that lingers from the acids.
This one is a bit of an oddball. It WANTS to be a Savignon Blanc, but the blend just makes it a little schizophrenic. -

April 2, 2023 - This limpid, pale yellow wine is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 23% Sémillon and 2% Muscadelle. Offering a delightful aromatic profile of white peaches, clementines, lime zest, ginger and jasmine, it follows with similar flavors on a light-bodied, crisply acidic palate. Unoaked and without noticeable alcohol (12.5%), it has good mid-palate persistence and a medium-length, energetic finish. Bottled under screwcap, this shows no reductive notes and is immediately accessible. It is a delicious, well-priced wine that will be at its best over the next couple of years. Drink now-2025.
