Buttery yet balanced, hay, subtle orchard fruits and later a touch of white flowers; didn't get the reduction noted in some other reviews. Tasted like Californian chardonnay but one made with a decent amount of restraint. Enjoyable on it's own but much better with a simple roast chicken.

Had a couple of glasses last night via Coravin - served slightly chilled this had very attractive cool, crunchy blue and black fruits, with some subtle mushroom and earthy notes coming with some air. I really enjoyed the purity of the fruit without the feeling of oak here (they use older larger barrels). A great "midweek wine" in a good place now but with plenty in the tank for a few more years. Bon!

Irresistibly drinkable; high toned red fruits interplay with subtle mushroom and humus, almost pencil shavings (like this was Cab Franc!) On the palate its medium to light bodied with sappy dark fruit and a fine bead of acidity providing the backbone to this wine. . Well in its drinking window, this could age more but in the ideal place not for a wine on this level in my mind.
