Pop and pour as this wine started to oxidize in a half-filled bottle in the fridge. Disappointing. Something eccentric about the wine like the Nicolaus Joly's wines that are totally individuals. Pale yellow, looks bright and fresh. grapefruit, lemon, hint of smoke on the nose. Aromatic. Intriguing. Full creamy mouthfeel with medium+ tart acidity, more lemons, acacia, hint of green apple and grassiness, really grippy with an extended, green finish. Reminds me of Sancerre, but with higher acidity and a flinty mineral quality that makes it unique.

translucent gold; lime, lime zest (and occ lemon and grapefruit notes), clean earth, herb; minor floral notes; nice intensity, crispness, persistence, and moderately fine acidity; not particularly complex, but memorable

Didn’t know what to expect. Clean is the theme here. Citrus, mineral on the nose. Good going acidity in the palate. The finish is a bit short. Unusual Sauvignon Blanc.
