A regular buy, this is clean, with sharp acidity. Nutty and round. Some salinity and bitters in the aftertaste. Excellent pqr at around 19€ — 2 days ago

N: Roses…big and candied. Red/Pink Grapefruit. Like marmalade, all the bitters too.
P: At first, big tannins that smooth out w protein. Cherries, but yellow/brown.
Delicious wine.

Pop and pour. A remarkable light gold color. On the nose: subtle notes of lemon, toasty vanilla oak , green apple, honey, slight pineapple on the end. Taste: creamy, soft, juicy wine with mandarin, minerals, honey, plenty of butterscotch, pineapple, hint of white pepper, and a dry slightly herbal bitters medium plus finish.... Eeh. — 3 years ago

Vintage 1989 | for me an obscure domaine, it caught my attention at an auction. I do love ripened Chenin Blanc, which sometimes seems immortal. So I thought: give it a try. The wine was sent from France. Lovely ripened colour, old gold. Shy smell, good taste that combines honey and bitters. The cuvée is ‘moelleux’ but very good balance with the acids. Paired good with rilettes and pheasant pâté. — 20 days ago

Incredible glass of rose. Roses, almond paste, tart, some dried figs. In the mouth sweet, acidity and bitters so well balanced. — 3 years ago

Again a bottle to my liking. So guess that previous one was off. High in acids, tangerine fruits, classic bitters — 5 months ago

Vintage 2021 | Early drinking, fine luncheon wine, paired with beetrootsalade, goatcheese and lemon/oliveoil. High bitters, so better with food or give this bottle one or a few years cellar. — 3 years ago

Solid core, somewhat muted scent and typical cab flavors giving damp earth, cassis and nutmeg like bitters. I don't see the 96RP rating here but nevertheless a well made wine. — 3 years ago
