April 4, 2020 - 50% voignier, 32% roussane , 18% marsanne. Pale golden straw in glass. As Killerjones states, this wine has a rich aromatic nose with “all grapes showing in the glass”. Perfumed honeysuckle, almost candied peaches, ripe mango, sweet pineapple. This wine is medium to full bodied with hints of oak and a full rich mouthfeel.

February 4, 2020 - When I tire of Chardonnay & Riesling - & I do… then a wine like this fits the bill nicely.
Honeysuckle, tropical fruit, a touch of lemongrass : very perfumed.
Balanced - the acidity is spot on to carry the fruit. Dried herbs, peach & a slight bitter pear skin note on the back end.
Starting to come down – drink up.1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 14, 2019 - Nez expressif, ananas dans son jus, fruit exotique très mûre, une touche de minéralité (craie).
En bouche, fruit doux, sucré, miel et eau de rose, acidité faible. Deux expression nez et bouche. L'alcool est bien perceptible.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 10, 2019 - This winery, in my view, is the leading "Rhone varieties" producer in Canada.
Gorgeous nose! All grapes show: Viognier, Marsanne & Rousanne. Very refined, clean nose of Mirabelles plum, starfruit, apricot, jasmine, pepper & anise...I could smell this forever.
Nice minerality with crushed gravel & pineapple flavors.
Could put away a glass of this when days are cold & when days are hot.
