Was surprised to find a Pinot Blanc from Burgundy but read that it is not a true Pinot Blanc. Henri Gouges states that this is made from a Pinot Noir mutant that turned white. It's nose was very floral with a touch of honey; rounded pear, lychee and floral palate with generous mineral offering evolving into greener notes with discernable tannins. Long. A unique surprise.

Clean lemon, apple, and mineral. Palate is very mineral. A very modest wine that shows hints of maturity on the palate a la 1998 Leroy Bourgogne Blanc. Not quite the salon-ish thoughts, but not the zing of citrus fruit. Perceptible tannin on the palate.

Terrific - notes of sweet clementine, stone and pear. Good balance with a long finish.

Interesting rather than very exciting, soft and satisfying.
