Classic Provence for summertime. Really nails that rosé vibe people want for the pools and the beaches. Easy drinking, strawberry, lychee, stone fruit and melon, dry, mineral and crisp, surprisingly long finish with notes of cotton candy, saffron and salt. A bit vegetal. — 3 months ago
Medium straw yellow . Quite rich on the nose , some toasty notes with some wax and yellow fruits , citrus peel, vanilla . On the palate this is all about the texture , quite round but enough balance , blanched almonds , peach. Waxy notes . Good length . Drink now and over the next few years , in a perfect place . — 4 months ago
At tannins upfront. Berns Steak House. In the 8T room Last bottle. Bottled candled and decanted. Mild dusty dark fruit bouquet. Soft dusty delicate middle. Old world earthiness. Finishes smooth. — 6 months ago
Really floral on the nose- rose bushes? Maybe some saltiness too. Minerality on the palate but also cherries, floral, a bit more savory than fruity. Some acidity and medium body. — 8 months ago
Wax, salted almonds, butterscotch and honeysuckle. — a year ago
Strawberry nose, candied strawberries. Very slightly frizzante. Delicious but not overtly complex. One can see why this particular assemblage, named for the pet/colloquial name of Honoré Pascal: The Big.
Supposedly not only was he large, but mellow. Drinking this all day could do that.
But I digress, It’s somewhat indistinct on the palette…but I don’t think that’s the intent. It goes down SO easily and is good with summer foods , that’s the point. There’s a trace of bitterness that’s welcome on the finish. It could be that there are those of us who are inclined towards southern French delicate ones.
Interestingly, on day 2 this was much more interesting and went swimmingly with homemade Baba Ganouj and Chicken in Kubbe sauce(a Middle Eastern chickpea, carrot , celery and spice soup we transformed into a sauce). Along with some Harrisa….
Think I’ll have to revise that silly score.

2025 vintage. Sense of place, balance and harmony. What I generally like about Sancerre blanc written would fill the entirety of your thumbnail. This, however, is clean, has some mineralité and drinking well now with extra concentration and length of finish oomph. Picked up 3 cases. 8.12.26. — a month ago

Absolutely fucking magical. Such an experience drinking this wine — 8 months ago
Clear pale salmon. Medium + intensity on the nose with strawberry, blood orange, geranium leaf, pink grapefruit, tomato leaf, white peach. On the palate dry, medium + acidity, medium + intensity medium body, long finish and medium alcohol with notes of grapefruit, red cherry, grass, white peach and something plastic that I can't quite identify but isn't undesirable. Outstanding wine and fun to drink on its own without food. Creamy and sophisticated — 2 months ago

Nice white Bandol but I miss some character. Maybe some more cellartime? — 12 days ago
