Well this was not horrible but it is not great either. It has a certain mustiness to it and is dominated by lemony acidity that overwhelms pretty much everything else about the wine. Temperature did not seem to have much of an affect on the way it drank, nor did air and time. The must extended to the nose, along with the citrus notes. There was a long, citric finish but it was more annoying than scrumptious.

My second bottle of this and the message is that you only get what you pay for, often less but never more. This is just a mediocre bottle of win and a mediocre bottle of Chablis. Kind of bitter and totally lacking in any charm or sophistication. Way over priced for what it is.

My wife and I are big Chablis fans as are the guests who drank this with us. I guess you get no more then what you pay for and often less. This fits nicely into the "less" category. Kind of harsh tastes of green apple with none of the sophistication of NZ Sauvignon Blanc which also has that Granny Smith acid taste. I paid about $25 for this and would have been more satisfied with a $17-$19 NZ SB. Live and learn!!!

Yellow with hints of orange, nose of lemon, curd, molasses and vanilla. Stoney lemon, smoke and lime flavors. Good.

Monthly Tasting Group: Loads of CDP's and more (Meritage, St. Paul): Pale gold color. Tasted one glass over 15 minutes. This was decidedly bland. Lacks any particular personality. A little citrus, a lot of nothing else.

At least this wine is consistent, mediocre.

Lemon lime and a fair amount of Chablis chalk. Vibrant and racy. Very good with pan seared scallops.
Would buy again. I prefer this over the Vaillons.
