Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:

Sunday, August 6, 2017 - 12.5% alcohol. Good dense cork. Pale gold colour. The nose is somewhat reserved, but pure and floral nevertheless. The mouth is fresh and appealing, with yellow flower flavours, good balance and a lively finish.
A wine of charm but with limited power; it was completely swamped by our dish of slowly cooked squid with dill sauce.
I see that the current price at my supplier is 23€ (for the 2015); this seems to me rather high. No doubt you are paying for the De Villaine name.
To be tried again in another context (foodwise) before deciding on the repeat purchase status. I am leaning negative at the moment.

Addendum: tried again with pan-fried cod; the wine survived on this occasion. There is nothing really wrong with it, except for the price; it is so completely outclassed by so many other white wines in the same price bracket, or indeed cheaper (sometimes considerably cheaper) that it is kind of embarrassing. Good luck trying to embarrass a Burgundian though!
Not a repeat purchase.
