If I'm being hard on this wine, I'd say it tastes "white wine" and not much else. If I'm being more on the positive side, I'd say this oozes quality, and is a very nice drink that I'd love to have as my house white, it's "neutral" wine style make it very useful.

Drank over a week and it was very good even on the last day: white orchard fruit, some citrus and some peppery notes. Good weight and length. Maybe the best CB blanc I had. 91+

Apple, pear and some honey and pineapple, there are also spices (white pepper and cinnamon). Ripe wine with good density and length. Well approachable.

Not quite what I was expecting, given the glowing reviews I had read. Quite an austere wine, with a slightly drying finish, although I did enjoy the apple and pear-dominated fruit. I'm sure it just needs time but for now I actually prefer the normal domain wine.

We enjoyed 2 bottles while dining on a resto patio on a gorgeous summer night, and paired with a small plate tasting menu featuring lots of fish and veggies. The wine took awhile to open - at one point we were wondering if the bottle was off. It wasn't, and patience was rewarded as it ended up in a great place. It's done in a leaner style: bone dry with floral aromas, apple and pear on the palate, and an underlying minerality. What a fine pairing it proved to be. This wine probably has 2 or 3 years ahead before hitting it's sweet spot.
