  A strikingly beautiful wine which expresses exotic fruits, razor sharp and crisp citrus tones and elegant white flowers. There is no doubt the 2009 Le Souvenir is a result of master craftsmanship. The nose is sublimely elegant but at the same time there is a powerful element as well, lingering on in the backend of the experience. The palate adds even more 'ohmpf' with balance and integration as keywords. There is not a hard edge, no oakiness, no harsh acidity. Everything is just exactly where expected. There is enough structure and texture to have this effort age for another couple of years, but I absolutely see n reason to hold off drinking. This wine is a true pleasure right now - enjoy it straight away if you have any bottles left!

  Lovely Chardonnay - my birthday dinner with opening course of sautéed calamari. Green apple, pear, lychee and some lemon. Long finish. No bite at all - smooth all the way. Everyone enjoyed it.

  Mellowed since drinking 3 years ago. Lemony and complex. Not as rich as before, but more French like. Wait 3 years for last one to see development.
