A deliciious sauvignon blanc made from fully ripened grapes. On the nose there are aromas of green apples and ripe pears. On the palate this wine has a full, round body with flavors of asian pear, lemon chiffon and thyme. There is some minerality. No cat-piss or gooseberry!

From the Maconnais, this wine has all of the features of a premier cru from the Cote de Beaune. it has a lovely nose, with aromas of lemon chiffon, ripe pears on top of a chalky minerality. On the palate, there are green apples, pear, white flowers, lemon chiffon and lime zest (on the finiish). The wine has a full body with med+ acidity. A terrific QPR!

The nose has brambly red fruits, violets, raspberry, hints of forest floor and a touch of mint. On the palate, there are dark cherries, rose petals, earth, cinnamon, a touch of tar and smoky minerals. The wine has Med+ acidity, Med+ tannins and a pretty long finish. Don't rush to drink this as it needs a few more years for the tannins to smooth out.
