Pop and pour, drank half the bottle over 2 hours. I thought this was stellar, served with lemon chicken. The wine itself is lemony, creamy and mineral-driven with great acid. Seeing that I paid $28 makes it even better.

Concur with Moods note. Drank over two nights. Fruit was understated and citrus acidity was dominant. This lent an edge to the wine that never moderated, so was slightly unbalanced. Generally I prefer a bit of an edgy wine, where it is crisp and clean, but this was sharp. Was indeed better as it warmed, giving hints of quality buried somewhere, but the promise never fulfilled. Surprised given praise in many notes. One more in cellar, maybe it'll be better, or has its time past?

Decent enough for the price level. Doesn't possess significant depth of fruit on the nose or palate. Needed some time to come around. Strongly recommend avoiding overchilling. Somewhat austere, with a fair amount of minerality. Citrus zippiness. Certainly easy drinking and quaffable.

Pale gold color. PNP, drank a couple glasses over 2 hours. I wasn't too excited on opening this. Might have been a little too cold, but it also may just have needed some time. Nose eventually shows a swet mango note, Meyer lemon, and minerals with the littlest hint of vanilla. The palate takes on more weight and depth over an hour and shows mostly lemon and minerality. Now I'm liking this a lot. 88+ to 89pts.

Nice but very unremarkable. Really need to get to village level with Pernot to get something to think about.
