Pale golden color. Aromas of, green pear, lychee, tropical fruit, basil and sweet spices. Green pear and melon on the palate with additional notes of fresh herbs and unripe peach. Hint of saline on the long and silky finish. Tangy acidity and creamy texture. Solid. — 2 years ago

Beautiful blanched Alsace cremant. Pine tar, sharp hard cheese and sour tangerine Altoids circa 2003 (a La Ginny). Notes of olive brine upfront followed by buttery cheese. Enjoyed the shit out of this at Marie Celeste Paris 2023. — 3 years ago
This wine used to be called “Celeste”. A very similar experience to the Blanche Hermitage however it lacks a touch of the complexity. The fruit is still quite tropical with stone fruits and nuts however it came across a bit more round with more power and more of the cotton candy. The finish was a touch more bitter as well reminding me of walnut skin. Very fun to try this wine after the Blanche. As I understand, this is a 60/40 blend of Roussanne/Marsanne. Quite delicious. — 5 years ago
Spennende hvitvin. Fruktig. Tåkete. — 7 years ago
People whining about earthiness and tannins aren't familiar with Rioja or Spain in general, where heavy oaking is the norm.
I found this fruitier than most Riojas, dominated by raspberry notes and vanilla, backed by mild tobacco, mineral, and chocolate notes. — 9 months ago
