Clean, crisp and flavorful - a bit riper than Chablis but very much a cool climate Wine; this has green apple, green pear, acacia, flint and wet stone, and a bright bit of herbal greenery in the background. There is more body here than in Chablis with a hint of creaminess on the palate. Really enjoyable, a food-lover’s wine. Grilled lobster, steamed shrimp, fried chicken, the possibilities are endless. — 4 years ago

A little tart but good — 3 years ago
Soft and subtle tannins, higher acidity, dark cherry, chocolate, plum and slight baking spice notes. Great one it’s own, or would be good with food — 4 years ago
