  October 29, 2010 - Gold-ish color. Nose shows a lot of hay, some apricot, even a little honey. Not very well-versed in CdP Blanc, which is why i picked it up. I felt like it showed a lot of age, and begged for food. Paired well with a hearty fish dish. Nice body, could use a little acidity to brighten and crisp it up a bit.

  June 20, 2009 - CT London Event (Hide Bar, Bermondsey, London): Interesting blend with plenty of Clairette. Bought the last available bottle from Paul Jeune's "Vignerons Rebel" shop in Avignon to tote down to the CT gathering. This came highly recommended. Truth to be told, I was a little disappointed at first, it started out rather big and alcoholic. This was up against two very good Grand Cru Burgs as well! After some time though, it really begin to show a whole lot better. Slight oxidative notes on the nose - I got soy, chicken stock and a touch of figs, along with toasty, smoky notes and a touch of cigarette. Interesting palate. When it pulled together, it showed a nice cleaness and balance with flavours of beeswax and cloves along with some mineral. Nice finish too, with cereal and biscuit flavours wrapped in a nice, round mouthfeel. Very decent, full of personality.
