  April 6, 2018 - No idea how to score this, but it is a creamy, slightly buttery, peachy lovely, relaxing easy drinking thing that we really enjoyed. Cast off all expectations ye who enter here and enjoy.

  August 15, 2013 - Très belle couleur dorée, arômes de miel, d'acacia et de poires. La bouche est fraîche, ronde et onctueuse, dominées par les arômes de miel. Finale encore toute fruitée et fraîche. Le vin a encore de la vitalité mais il est épanoui.

  June 28, 2013 - My what a difference a year would seem to make from the last review! Medium+ straw. Medium+ viscosity. On the nose there is lemon, vanilla, brioche, light toastiness and some yeast. Palate the same with great weight and full mouthfeel. No loss of acidity in this bottle. Well balanced, good weight and complexity. Not over the hill but age is showing well.

  September 27, 2012 - Interesting wine. 88% Marsanne, 12% Rousanne. Looks like water in the glass. Nose is faintly yeasty, and complexly mineral. Quite dry tasting, and the acidity is restrained, so on one hand it's like "mineral water," albeit with 12.5% alcohol, and on the other it's very satisfying, refreshing - think of a flat Champagne. Yes, despite invoking probable howls of "Blasphemy!" I think if you add a little club soda to this wine, you've got what passes for a decent Champagne. Little bit floral, little bit buttery, little bit lots of things. 87 points doesn't sound that high in this day and age, and the overall "lightness" of this wine is what has me giving it that "low" of a score, but this is good QPR (if you like this kind of thing, I reckon) and I'm going to get more.

  Nicely made summer wine to have over food. Could have used more acidity.
  Pleasant. tasted twice.

  Not a huge white rhone fan. There are exceptions, this isn't one of them.
