Big white. High in just about everything... acidity, weight, mouthfeel. Slight corn oil thing going on, with lemon and honey. No heat, but the richness needs some food. Melted cheese and bread from same region would do quite nice

Honey, subtle apricot, lemon, dried herbs, and melon with pepper on the nose. Great acidity, minerality/chalk, lemon/lime, white peach and star fruit on the palate. Cool wine. Reminiscent of a Sauvignon blanc and melon De Bourgogne.

Glacial, bright, perfect tension between with fruit and acidity. Implicitly lovely!

Light and tart, very easy drinking with lots of vanilla. Great!

Awesome aromas of tangerine, grapefruit lemon and melon with a tinge of spice. A little oak on the palate but smooth with a bit of a lingering Chardonnay taste. Good bottle, I think it's very good for the price point.

Relatively dark color for this 2013 (Altesse)golden delicious Apple scented and honey musky nose followed up with medium bodied (slightly oily) aromatic tea in the moth

I wish there was a bit more sharpness, but it's undeniably tasty, round, and juicy.
