2010 vintage. Deep golden colour, heading to amber. Bee wax, honey, dried apricots, orange peel, and a hint of rosemary. While this will not be to everyone's taste, it still has a lot to offer if you like older whites, even if it might be slightly over the hill. Abv. 13,5%.

Superb with some age. Developed nose of lavender honey, almond, and ripe citrus. Oily waxy texture with just the right amount of acidity on the finish.

Showing well for it's 10 years of age and, despite some colour depth, still harmonious. An unusual wine but well worth trying.

Wonderful, expressive in raspberries, violets, plums, creamy texture and length. Chapoutier at its best. It is the red though, Delectable read it wrong

Very young. Orange blossom water, lavender, white peach, golden apple. Not as rich as in previous years.
