There seems to be confusion on the name - the 2011 is Les Vignes de l'Aire, whereas the 2012 the winemakers (who own Roc des Anges) are going by their own names on the bottle now. Anyways, Pale green/gold, almost white. Tangy citrus and floral aroma with hint of apple and pear. Attack is similarly tangy with melon and apple shining through. Smoothes out to mineral and apple juice notes. Great aperitif, and one of my go-to mineral whites.

Dutifully vibrant acidity saves this bottling. Light, citrus and cut ground foliage mingles with mineral undertones. Drink now; better with food. QPR @ $10 is very good.

I second TC01s notes, below. Nice mineral driven crowd pleaser. Also, the bottle is beautiful.

Slightly floral. Citrus background, some mineral, midweight, very plain.
