Drank 9\18\19. Nice with grilled fish.

Nose of lemon, honey, and just a touch of petrol, which I had not gotten from this in the past. White peach and lemon curd, with bright acidity in the clean palate. Citrus on the medium finish. As usual, I prefer the oaked version(d'argent), bit this was singing tonight. Very nice.

3\21\8\4\3 +50 =89 pts.

Drank 4/1/19. Decent pairing with Cacio e Pepe, but would have probably preferred a Chianti.

This is the unoaked version. Lemon, minerality, and a touch of earthy funk on the nose. Very clean and balanced with flavors of lemon, citrus peel, some orange zest, and a touch of salinity. Medium to long finish with bright acidity. Overall, I prefer the Lunes d'argent for a couple of bucks more, as it seems to be richer and a bit more interesting than the unoaked Blanche.

3/21/7/4/4 +50=89 pts.

Quite boring, lacking energy. Yet 2 critics gave it a 93. Surprise, surprise...

Pale straw in color, nose of fruit & maybe sight citrus, dried grass and maybe some oak. Fruit forward on the sweeterside, not nearly as dry as expected. Peach and ripe pear, with maybe some green apple for tartness, maybe a little orange. Little oak is any, low acidity- not bad.

ripe fruits with richer mouthfeel, candied lemon and oranges, green peaches, lychees, floral, it improves considerably serving it barely chilled

Honey, zesty citrus, lovely overall. Would love to taste with some age.

Floral, like a fresh bouquet, crisp and abrupt; hi- toned fruit. Nice warm weather wine.

Lemon hay white flowers. The palate is very straight forward with a strong acid backbone and some bitter touch here and there. Finish very fresh with that bitter fruitty thing. Cool stuff
