December 22, 2023 - French but no Burgundy/Bordeaux theme: Brought for a friend. Didn't transcend the region unlike the Coteau de Vernons that I've had; a more typical northern Rhone white with floral, honeysuckle notes. Still very youthful and fresh that most pegged it to be from around 2016.

October 28, 2017 - Vrij aromatisch, in begin wat gesloten, waarschijnlijk nog iets te fris.
Daarna openbloeiend in een mooi homogene krachtige wijn. iets vettig, iets medicinaal. Lekker.
Nog zeker 5 jaar voor zich, dus window CT aanpassen. -

June 17, 2017 - There's always something a little melancholy about having the last bottle of a special wine. Paired with Santa Barbara spot prawns. Not as good as our previous showing. Beautiful nose: sweet floral notes and the prawns brought out some iodine/ocean character. More wet stone..very compelling. On the palate, continues with the wet stone, and very creamy and full bodied...seemed slightly limp by comparison to what I remember. Nevertheless, still good. If this bottle is representative, then drink up.

February 26, 2016 - Drank alongside a 2013 Ogier Viognier. Just in a beautiful place right now. Wonderful nose of wet stone, a touch of petroleum, meyer lemon, beeswax, pineapple. On the palate, seems fuller bodied than in the past, with great depth a touch of nuttiness. Slightly more oily, with the acidity popping up at the end. Shorter finish than I would like, but very good.

October 24, 2015 - Pale yellow color, White floral and lemon scent, light sweetness, almonds expressed in a smooth texture once in mouth. Good stuff. Looking forward to the bigger cuvees sleeping in the cellar when they reach their prime
