Some real interest here. Hinting at orange in colour. Funky and complex, copper minerality, long. I’m very much looking forward to the next bottle and will definitely give it more concentrated analysis. Love finding the fun in these avant garde wines. Wonderful. 91+

Old vine marsanne. Rather underwhelming. Quite a bit of volatile acidity, stunted nose, palate is middle weight and a bit tart without anything to enliven it. Disappointing and I usually like his wines.

I was excited to try this bottling as I love Texier's Brezeme blanc, but this was not as compelling particularly at the higher price point. Seemed to have a lot more bitter notes coming through on the palate with much less white stone fruit. Seemed a bit out of balance - not a repeat buy for me.
