  Fruity bubble gum nose. Light fruit flavor, I would enjoy this chilled during the summer.

  Animal and leather aromas on the nose which I love. Lots of acid, slightly savory. I'd buy this.

  I liked the nose on their Santenay, I downright LOVE the nose on this one, rich bretty aromas but not in a negative way. Acidic, almost mouth puckering but totally drinkable, got some tobacco flavors too.

  More oak than St-Aubin, but not obnoxiously oaked. Somethign soapy on the nose, perhaps some kind of floral. After taste of yummy breakfast cereal.
