50/40/10 Sémillon, Sauvignon, and Muscadelle. Quite the floral aromatics upon opening. Lemon, honeysuckle, jasmine, and ginger are all expressed one after another. The palate is broad and creamy, acid is M+ and the minerality is through the roof. Finish is lengthy, with lemon zest and wet stone leading it. Best with seafood!

Ripe orchard fruit, some lovely citrus tang, and the tell-tale herbal note from the Sauv Blanc. Not all that complex, but great value

Sud-Ouest tasting #2
Elegant, complex, poised, the Semillon breatdh of lemon wax matching the floral Muscadelle nicely. Beautiful mouthfeel, layered, coating, escapes the obvious clichees. Really nice.

(15.5/20) Приятный, свежий аромат с нотами крыжовника, лайма и свежескошенной травы. Насыщенный вкус, хорошо интегрированная кислотность. Горчинка в послевкусии.

Flavours of green apple, lilies. Ample and sweet taste, great linger.
