  June 1, 2018 - Flashing Paris; 5/31/2018-6/3/2018 (Paris - France): Coravined. Depth and some saline note. Minerality without limit.
  Long, bitterness, balance, refined acidity. Creampie Excellent for what it is. Quite difficult to find a disappointing white in Northern Rhone from selected winemakers.
  
  Coravin. Profundidad y alguna nota salina. Mineralidad sin límite.
  Longitud, amargor, equilibrio, refinada acidez. Cremita. Excelente para lo que es. Bien difícil encontrar un blanco decepcionante en el norte del Ródano de buenos productores.

  November 19, 2015 - Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club" 2015-08; Northern Rhône (@ PD): The bouquet shows minerals and rustic flavors. On the palate aromatic white and yellow fruits like ripe pineapple and mango. Some anise, banana, oak, laurel and mineral as well. A very tasty wine with good acidity and some bitterness in the finish. Good and expressive wine now and the next few years.

  June 9, 2015 - Very fresh nose of notably pineapple but also apricot and flowers. Maintains good freshness on the palate, good acidity here. The fruit is pure and transparent in green and white colors with a mineral backdrop. There is a hint if mandarins as well. Very good vintage, very good wine, much less polished and pushed than I would expect from Villard but I also read that he has been dialing it back a notch or two.
