Blinded this and thought it might be a Santa Barbara Chardonnay. Not super off I guess. Really pretty.

Like zest, lemons rind, grapefruit, river water, steely and slightly buttery, pithy. Great acidity along a linear structure. — 23 days ago

Blend of 80% Mauzac and 20% Muscadelle, the name “Perle” comes from effervescent crispness. On the palate flavors of apple and peach with notes of sweet herb. Medium finish ending with fruit and herb character. Sustainably farmed. — 9 months ago

1990 vintage. An under the radar Pomerol, bought in 1961 by the grandfather of current owner Nathalie Despagne. He also owned La Tour Figeac in Saint-Emilion and La Rose Figeac is just across the Saint-Emilion border. The 4,56 hectare vineyard consists of 9 parcels (all within 500 m of each other) on gravelly sandy soils and is planted with Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc. My bottle had a near-perfect level and as the smell was a bit musty upon opening, but there was still good fruit in the mouth and the colour looked very solid, I took the risk to decant it. It turned out to be a wise decision as the wine evolved positively, even if the tannins remained a bit rustic. On the other hand it still has lively fruit and freshness, it is a testimony to the ageing potential of Bordeaux wines and an attractive food wine. Abv. 12,8% . — 3 years ago
