First bottle of the white from this maker. Lemon curd and white flowers on the nose. The wine is light golden and showing early maturity but still quite vibrant. Lemon, a touch of tropical fruit, wax and minerals come through in the palate. Medium bodied, fresh, but slightly oxidative. Fascinating wine.

(CDV) Sur 2011, Simone n’est pas aussi riche que le fabuleux 2010, même si sa belle finale elancée, reste un bel atout. Il est salin, anisé, sudiste mais frais, avec une belle tension. Dommage qu’il manque de concentration, de jus, d’un milieu de bouche plus complexe.

More like outstanding winemaking than anything special about the underlying varietals — but delicious wine. French oak and neutral grape classiness. Blind tasting, I’d be like….Burgundy, Brézé?
80% clairette

Golden color, viscous huge texture. Like drinking honey, totally dry, rich, waxy, balanced, great wine in a great spot with some nuttiness. Could go longer but I’m not sure there’s a point. Drink up.

In full bloom. Complex bouquet of asparagus, yellow fruit, candied orange, and quince. Lush and long in the mouth.
