Yummm! First sip of this and I was thinking of the Mediterranean Sea and hankering for a nice Bouillabaisse. The nose is a nice salt sea air and some stony fruit. The palate was a little bit of nuttiness, citrus and a little bit of spice. Good finish.Balanced and elegant. Devlon noted the similarity to Cassis. The proximity to the sea is obvious. There's only 1,500 bottles of this made each year. Too bad. A Kermit Lynch import.

(Domaine du Gros’Noré Bandol Blanc) Pale-straw-colored and moderately viscous, with aromas of honey, lemon, peach, apricot, and white flowers. The palate is medium-bodied, showing pink-grapefruit and chalk notes; bright, fresh acidity; and tar and ginger back notes. This dry, elegant wine has echoes of white nectarine and rosewater on the long finish. Provence: Heaven for the Senses
