March 1, 2009 - Very pleasant white that is surprisingly dry, with a clean finish like a good savinierres, and a worthy alternative to serve to the unsuspecting chard addict

November 26, 2008 - The nose has lots of grapefruit and fresh grass, minerals and some honey. Crisp and very nice. The front palate is a bit anonymous. Then it grows in weight, and explodes in a medium long finish of spice and pepper. You can feel the alcohol (13,9%) in the finish, but it is not disturbing. The wine is not very acidic, but there is a linear elegance in the mouth that I find appealing. Definitely a would buy again at 22 $.
