To my palate the opposite of new world- as referenced in a previous note-& drinks more like a Pouilly Fume; quite rich, minerally & taut. Some layers too, with white flowers & honey, still quite full on palate w a slightly petrol nose. Insane Qpr at 14$.

A not so varietal nose at first (honey, white flowers) which transformed into a light varietal nose after a while. On the palate a smooth and rich and quite complex blend of tastes : honey again, peach perhaps. Quite a long finish. I strongly recommend this wine. A pity I haven't bought more

Very smooth. Goes well with roasted chicken. Powerful with goat cheese. Earthy and bright. Try this with Bucheron cheese on top of bread with a drop of honey. Wow!!!
