We had this wine last evening with penne pasta with a chicken pesto sauce. It complemented the food perfectly. There is loads of beautiful, minerally fruit on the nose. The fruit is reminiscent of grapefruit, key lime and granny smith apples. The taste follows through on the nose with beautiful flavors of pink grapefruit, green apples and keylime. This is a gorgeous wine today but it will improve over the next five years.

La Manche Wine Circle - Southern Rhône (Le Mesnil-Amey): Cherry/ruby robe. Oak and vanilla on the nose, some fruit and leather on the palate. Nice acidity with a light firmness carrying some fruit and leather. Still young with perhaps some ageing potential.

Roses and perfume on the palate. Tannins fully integrated. Light flavour and fairly balanced.
