At Le Bouchon, Maldon, Essex. c£80 off the list. No formal note. This had an attractive stone fruit nose with a touch of citrus and a seam of sesame seed, was well balanced on the palate with ripe fruit, decent weight and attractive contrasting vibrant acidity which carried a very good length slightly lemony finish. Excellent.

Have I ever approached a French white wine with this-is-gonna-be-dope-af certainty? Not really. 'Cause you never have a damn clue what to expect. Tbh I was euphoric about this one while sniffing it (white peach, lime zest, buttered toast), but the palate just pulled me off this path. Not much depth, acidity is through the roof and the fruit is pretty subtle compared to the nose. Will go with food next time. Without the wine.
