Community Tasting Notes 8

    December 17, 2023 - Nose of hay, quince, apple, milky note. The palate is sharp with strong acidity, featuring a surprising and somewhat bothersome milky aspect. Astonishment upon discovering the label. Rated 89.

    Nez sur le foin, coing, pomme, note lactée. La bouche est tranchante et l’acidité forte, avec un côté lacté surprenant et un peu gênant. Stupeur à la découverte de l’étiquette. 89

    August 29, 2011 - Had it with Fruit de Mer with two of its brothers

    Steel minerality, crisp, fresh

    Nice but not amazing - would have expected more from a Grand Cru

    June 3, 2011 - Hard to believe I bought for 60 bucks at a wine store in Miami Beach. Steel minerality and ocean sea air combine to make apple and peach elegance and a richly flavored wine.
