January 6, 2023 - It is Vin Passion, not Vin de Passion. 13% alcohol. One third each of Sauvignon, Sémillon and Muscadelle. Short cork with a complicated structure (body is reconstituted with discs of a different aspect, maybe natural cork, at either end); elaborate and apparently of good quality.
Attractive medium gold colour (the wine, that is...).
The nose is rich with the Sémillon coming out at this stage without dominating unduly; yellow fruit and gorse. Much more high pitched in the mouth with refreshing acidity complementing the fruit.
In superb condition at age 8, and apparently capable of another few years of ageing. A very well made white Bordeaux and a bargain as well. -

September 18, 2020 - Last bottle from a six-pack that has drunk very nicely this summer. Lemon gold in appearance, fresh and citrusy on the nose. Also fresh on the palate from the Sauvignon but with the semillon continuing to develop and add more character to this wine. Very enjoyable.

August 8, 2020 - Clean, crisp and fresh, making it perfect for a warm summer's day. Citrus fruits on the nose and palate, short-medium finish.

May 22, 2020 - Citrus fruits on the nose. Crisp and fresh on the palate with good acidity. Nice weight on the palate, medium finish. While the Sauvignon seems to dominate the blend, this bottle was more harmonious than the last. Lovely warm weather drinking and great value.

September 18, 2019 - A distinctive blend that to my palate is dominated by the Sauvignon Blanc which gives the wine a fresh, citrus-dominated taste, although you know the Semillon is lurking there. An interesting wine that provides good value for money and enjoyable drinking.
