Holy smokes. I can’t believe this is le petit. It’s a beautiful, ripe, nuanced SB, with volume, texture and a style somewhere between Loire and Bordeaux blanc, but with an alpine twist. Tremendous, unique complexity, and a totally Cap’n Crunch nose. Also white grape, kumquat, kiwiberry, coconut, pineapple, light caramel, oak, brine, green tea, smoke and green olive. But most of all, wildly floral in a way only the best SB are. Great texture, subtle sweetness. Minerals and acid that lend this an electric buzz. This is a really good wine. Can’t stop drinking it.

Flinty, smokey, charred lemon and seashell. Full boat of texture and concentrated flavor + acid. Action and amplitude in every direction.
