October 8, 2021 - The 2018 Jonc Blanc "Fleur" is a gorgeous and complex wine from 45% old-vine Semillon (70+ years old), Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris from Franck and Isabelle Pascal in Bergerac, Biodynamic farming on limestone with clay and sandy soils, vinification without additives, aging for 18 months on the lees in cuve inox, bottled with a small addition of SO2, 20mg/l total. The 2018 Fleur is a lovely wine showing floral aromas of ripe citrus, melon and pear; the palate is ripe, supple and refreshing with ripe white fruits, quite generous and backed with firm acidity and saline/mineral flavors in the very long finish. Far from the typical varietal Sauvignon, this is a rich complex white of great character that willl acccompany cheeses and white meats and is a delicious aperitif. David Lillie

prof b Does not like this wine:
January 2, 2021 - This was hard to get a read on. When I opened it, the wine was too warm and smelled and tasted like crappy baked beans. I put it in the kitchen fridge and forgot about it for about a week. When I came back to it, it was more appealing in that there was more of a mineral quality to the wine. Still, I couldn't really detect anything I'd call fruit.
