Richness from warm vintage but great acidity. You get the stone fruits and a nice bitter finish on the lemo skin. A powerful wine but noble. Better to enjoy it not too cold and it paired very well with the goat cheese, abricot, and almond Flammekueche. This is a textbook Savennières which is worth so much the price. To buy again.

Beautiful nose and palate on the abricot and honey. Long finish with a nice bitterness on the lime skin. I was negatively surprised by how low the acidity was, which made the wine rather heavy. Paired with tantamen ramen, it was too sweet and not acidic enough for the dish. Maybe to pair with lemon pie would give the twist.

Such a great value. This is wine ticks all the boxes of an aged classic Haut-Médoc. Nice integrated tannins, plum, noble wood, good acidity. Always a pleasure to drink this producer.
