Deep yellow. Flavours like an aged semillon, full body, fresh acidity. Well balanced, not over the hill as expected , but needs drinking up. Had with cheese and charcuterie.

Alain Brumont tasting (Harrogate Fine Wine Company): -- tasted a couple pours non-blind over approx. 10 minutes; tasted an additional glass the following day, approx. 21 hours after bottle was opened -- -- bottle has been open, and poured from, for approx. 1.5 hours before I tasted it -- -- 80% Petit Courbu, 20% Petit Manseng --
Nose showed moderate+ expressiveness, and featured interesting notes of salad greens and anise seed. Medium-light bodied. Lots of mineral on the palate, with hints of grass and anise seed; 14% alc. not noticeable. My favorite of the three whites in this tasting. Very good, and excellent value at $22.
Day 2: Nose is still expressive: kiwi and mineral. Lots of smoky/oak/mineral/orange blossom on the palate; long finish of medium-strong intensity; nice acidity; medium-light bodied. Still like this a lot.

Rich, floral and wonderfully dry. This is a great white wine at a great price. Pleasant full mouthfeel. Long finish.

Sweet apples and anise in a somewhat reticent bouquet. Mild acidity, minerals and yellow fruits like bananas. Overall a mild and pleasant wine.
