May 19, 2021 - Lean and mineral with rip-roaring acidity but a solid core of fruit. Very sustained. Brings a smile to your face.

May 6, 2021 - Medium to light-bodied, a little on the lean side. Pleasant, but too neutral to be better than that.

February 4, 2021 - Served by the glass. Nose of sour apple, yellow grapefruit or even unripe tangerine. Better performance in the mouth where it is harmonious, with concentration but also with a good amount of acidity. A dry but fresh and long finish wine. Not bad for what it is. Enigmatic label. Placed in Saumur-Champigny, I am curious to taste their red wines.
Servido por copas. Nariz de manzana ácida, pomelo amarillo o incluso mandarina sin madurar. Mejor comportamiento en boca donde se muestra armonioso, con concentración pero también con una buena cantidad de acidez. Un vino de final seco aunque fresco y largo. Nada mal para lo que es. Enigmática etiqueta. Al estar en Saumur-Champigny, tengo la curiosidad de probar sus vinos tintos -
