On the nose: apricots, may and lime flowers, angelica, but delicate, like a warm spring morning. A light to medium body with the fruits above, a bit thin in the middle, but a lovely fresh floral wine. A cheaper Condrieu.

Pale straw with green tint. Floral nose, lacking intensity. I was expecting a bigger wine, using a Condrieu as my reference point and dialling back from there. What I got was a much more subtle wine. Light entry, floral, peach?, dry, a tang of the sea and some lemon. OK, now I'm relating it to a cross between a picpoul, a "terres salees" and some Viognier in the mix. I feel disappointed. And then I settled down with it and in time it won me over. The balance is good, refreshing entry and a development on the palate which kept me interested on both days. I'd say it seems well made and has a complexity which crept up on me. Is it a £22 wine? Not sure but it was versatile and engaging.

Nice lemon, waxy, nice citrus fruit. Lingering finish. Slight floral. Slight minerality & slight saline taste. Strong acidity. Better with an hour or so of air. Really enjoyable.

Great minerality, sea shells, passion fruit, pear and a good acidity throughout but not over ally so. Great value, it's not mind-blowing but very nice.
