  Lunch at Le Bon Georges (Le Bon Georges, Paris): This wine had the toughest task, it arrived at the end of a proper line up, long summery lunch in 30C Paris. And it it brought the sunshine. Tired palates were revived, wine discussion rekindled around it. Just this in our mind is enough to show what a great wine this was and send it to 95. The fact that it was served blind just add to the beauty.
  Sweet mandarin, mandarin marmalade at times, floral, waxy at times on the palate , sweet for sure but effortless too and with a lightness to the ripe fruit, tea leaves maybe too. Luscious and lovely to cross paths with it at this young age akin to a young sauternes experience. Just beautiful 94-96

  Fine, finesse with candied mandarin oranges and slightly bitter beeswax. It’s a lighter style with no noticeable oak. Great

  Lovely nose, very pure and sweet mandarin on the nose, honeyed, quite precise; full and rich, a nice freshness of acidity keeps things vibrant. Quite a note of botrytis on the palate.

  Liquid cotton candy. Opening nose of bananas. Apricots, honey with honeycomb wax. Lychee nuts.

  Complex nose with white fruit, quince, cinnamon, white flowers, hint of cherry, quite prominent apple cyder and sweet spices. Fruity and clean, only subtle botritis touch. This has lots of acidity as typical for a Chenin and the residual sugar is also low enough so that drinking this makes it more like a German Auslese experience than a Sauternes. I like that. A really great wine.
