Clos Roche Blast!: Showing mostly melon with a dollop of pepper and celery seed, it is softer, rounder, and doesn't show nearly as much Pineau d'Aunis character as the 2013, nor does it have the same structure or intensity, but it is still delicious and those very characteristics (or the lack thereof) may give it a wider appeal. Still, it is a wine that elicits a smile just from taking a whiff from the glass, and continues to deliver pure pleasure.

Last bottle of this. Definitely on the savory/umami end of the spectrum. Strawberry, celery leaf, dashi, salted plum. Drink up.

Enjoyed with friends who love Clos Roche Blanche and this bottle definitely delivered. Melon and strawberry with a hint of pepper. Very soulful.

Pretty color, black pepper and some bitter orange. Nice match with grilled chicken sausages. Only gripe was some alcohol showing through.
