Lay & Wheeler Summer tasting: I like this producer's style: fresh and light. A lovely subtle balance here: clean and hydrating with blossom notes providing aromatic lift. Just a little body and grip on the palate. Super refreshing.

Akkerman portfolio tasting (Akkerman warehouse): The wine shows more depth than Elisa, feels more concentrated, ripe citrus, pear, a touch of bitter notes that adds to the freshness. A few salty notes that would make it pair with seafood/oyster ? In the palate, the wine shows depth, tensity, higher acidity, fresh green fruit, pear, citrus, apples. There is a beautiful high quality cider element here too that I love. The wine shows medium body and long finish Fresh but youthful with a nice life ahead. A touch of bitterness adding layers in the wine

The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like rose, honey and butterscotch. It tastes like tropical fruits and honey. Spicy at the end.The body is light/medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Rounder than your usual Fumé right until the finish kicks off. At first nose is very subtle and light with flinty core in otherwise floral bouquet. As time goes we get more rounded notes of overripe pear, melon, slight tropical hint here and there. Interestingly the palate is very concentrated on green apple note, medium bodied, white pepper and a bit of tannin at the end. The finish is the kicker with acidity that is a bit overpowering. Will let it rest for a year.

Robe jaune avec reflet brillant d'intensité pâle
Le nez s'ouvre sur notes de bonbon blanc à l'ananas (sugus). Après 15 min il gagne en profondeur sur des jolies notes de fleurs blanches et de sureau.
La bouche est harmonieuse, elle ne présentait pas une acidité nerveuse et débordante qu'on rencontre relativement souvent sur cette appellation.
